Northwest Fishing Reports

Caught this trolling today. The picture isn't great, but I'm hoping someone could tell me what this is.
Kind of looks like a largemouth bass, but the coloring isn't there. It has a large lower jaw, spiny on top and small teeth.
Light colored tongue and gums.
If anybody can identify by this picture, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Largemouth, Fish change color to camoflauge into dingy water.

Yes - Largemouth Bass - Check the slot limit for size before retaining.

No special rules for bass at Alder so statewide rules apply...

LARGEMOUTH BASS (See DOH advisory, page 18) - No min. size. Only LARGEMOUTH BASS less than 12" may be retained, except 1 over 17" may be retained. Daily limit 5. Bass may be caught, retained, and released alive from a livewell until a daily limit is in possession.

Thank you everybody! I knew it was a largemouth, but my brother in law that was there swore it was a lake whitefish. I tried to tell him that the whitefish have much smaller heads and mouths, but he wouldn't hear it.

No adipose fin, not a lake whitefish.
