I would advise next time to do a dna swab of the slime, save it for comparison for the next year. :d

I'm with Tyler and TexasRig on this one. SAME FISH!
What's the chance of catching two different smallmouth with identical coloration/mottle patterns? I say you'd have a better chance of becoming a multi millionaire by playing the lotto... My $.02

Smile Yep !! <'TK><

Tyler, I am 99% sure that these two fish photos are the same and they are the same fish ... What makes this such a phenomenon nine months apart on the same structure. I can understand being caught again on the same day or a couple of days apart.

As most of us know we have special fishing holes that we frequent. The reason being these stumps,wing walls,rock fences, rip rap, structureless flats with a couple of sprigs of Buck Bushes sticking up do produce if lady luck and the weather prevails.. The reason is ambush points for the bait fish or some other tasty morsel that swims or craws by and this is common for most species.

What are the odds in a 9 month period that this fish wouldn't be caught and be someones Dinner, or mount on the wall, or caught by someone in a tourney and even though, probably released, wonder how many miles from her favorite ambush spot that she would have to travel and navigate to get back home ?

So phenomenon this is ... A great story for your grand kids . <'TK><
