I wasn't trying to get everyone fired up, and im definitely not trying to argue with anyone. I just feel like its pretty obvious that this is the same fish... I'm not going to notch the fin on every fish I catch just to make sure I can identify it if I catch it again... I wasnt trying to catch this fish again, it just so happened that I did in the exact same spot that I caught it last year... I've been looking at this picture for 3 days and have not found one thing about it that's different. The only difference is the lighting, time of year, and angle of the picture. It's literally what a smallmouth looks like in the spring vs summer.
