Help with identifying this bass

[d-el]

Greetings fellow fishermen! I caught this bass at the Falls Area Tailrace, right by the Falls Lake dam. I am a relocated Yankee (from Maine originally), and Maine only claims 2 species of bass, largemouth and smallmouth. I ignorantly assumed this was an unimpressive largemouth bass, had my significant other snap a quick picture, and threw him back. After some research, I think this is a pretty impressive White Bass! (Trophy weight/size being 2lbs/17 inches).

Should I be bragging about this fish?
