I was wondering the same on the markings.  Could these be different strains of LMB?

 

Also on the taste of LMB I find to be pretty good, just the meat seems to be a little more firm than most and I have a hard time getting breading to stick to it.

 

I am thinking about cubing some up and cooking it in some crayfish boil.

Good ones Mark. They will fry up real good.

Nice Ones Mark.....Looking forward to getting back home and chasing some Carolina Gills....North Carolina that is!

Taste the same to me!  I noticed the markings too, the fish were caught fairly close together withing a few hundred yards.

The Bass on the left and the one on the right show quite different markings!

Haven't eaten bass in a long time .Really don't recall if they taste any different than bluegill but I'm fairly sure thier diets are not exactly the same so they must  .
