1. A smallmouth's mouth goes to right around the back of the eye. A largemouth's mouth goes way past the back of the eye.

Misread the question is all.

One of these days perhaps I will be as well versed in fish rectums as you are. I bet you have plenty of rectal recipes too, congrats!

2. indy you're an idiot. he's not asking the differences between species.

I find that the males colors are brighters and well umm their rectums are more rounded, females are a bit ovalish.

3. Males are generally much darker and more distinctly colored than females. And yes, Indy is an idiot.
