They are easy to confuse if you're not used to catching them. Smallmouth tend to be "chunkier" though.

La. got screwed on the Kentucky thing. Ours tend to be really small. Nothing like the ones in some of the rest of the South.

My lone catch came from a Buffalo River canoe trip.

dude, me and friends have been talking about a trip on that river
My batch party will be in about 9 months, should we do a yak trip on it?

I have caught several in the Buffalo on kayak trips but also some in Iowa but none of those big chunky ones. Would love to get into a bunch of those big ones one day.

Sauger =/= walleye
They are related but sauger are smaller on average and able to tolerate warmer climate. Louisiana does NOT get walleye.
Also, a jack fish is not a northern pike, but a chain pickerel (although it is a member of the pike family, but I digress...) In the below image, the top fish is a pike, the middle is a hybrid pike/pickerel and the bottom is a chain pickerel. Louisiana only gets the chain pickerel.

By far the funnest bass to catch. They strike violently and fight all the way to the boat. I grew up catching them on Pickwick and other parts of the TN River system. Find current, find smallmouth. Contrary to popular belief, they get plenty big too.
Very hoistable.

Lots of smallmouth in Lake Degray also but it's about even with Greeson.
Doubt there's many much further south than that though.
Bayou Dorcheat is eat up with Kentucky bass.

Possibly a redeye bass? They happen occasionally in these parts.

It is outstanding. And when you find one, you've found them all. They love company and will all be of similar size.

True redeye bass only occur in Alabama. It looks like a spotted bass (or northern spotted bass, or kentucky bass) that was caught in a cloudy river.
For a really great read on different types of black bass (although it doesn't include the most recent addition) you can read about them here:

I'll tell the ones we used to slay in the hatchie River in W TN to go back home then.

I apologize. Apparently they were recently split into 5 distinct species. Still, they supposedly don't exist in TN. You sure they weren't just spotted bass that have red eyes? Actual redeye bass are usually much more darkly colored than spots.
