Upon further review, I believe that the bass in the 3rd pic is actually a Meanmouth Bass, a hybrid of a spotted bass and a smallmouth. I thought it looked a little odd for a Kentucky (spotted) bass (which are common in this stream), and the characteristic tongue patch was smaller and not as rough as you would normally find on a Kentucky bass. So I'm going to go with it being a meanmouth, which would make it the first of that "species" I've ever caught.
