Great fish. I've been wondering what determines the coloring on a smallmouth? I've seen some really dark, and some with beautiful markings from the rivers in NE Tennessee, and most of the ones you are catching are a little more dull in color.
Is it the water temps?
Depth the fish are located?
Color of the water?
Forage?
Oxygen levels of the water?
Or just genetics?
River vs Lake fish
Just curious
