Wiper Identification - DonInDenver - 06-14-2005
For those of you (like me) who sometimes have difficulty telling the difference between wipers and white bass, there is an excellent chart on the Kansas Fish & Game website. It is located at: [url "http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/fishing/fish_id_gallery"]http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/fishing/fish_id_gallery[/url]

My guess is you were catching largemouth. The smallmouth I have caught in Colorado have all been more brown or bronze than green. With a largemouth, the jaw extends beyond the eye. On a smallmouth it terminates below the eye and does not extend beyond. Here are pictures of both.
