Edit: Coosa spots and spots from a few key lakes will look like a football, spots from other places are shaped like a 2x4 and their tail fins look abnormally tall.

They typically don't tail walk when hooked like largemouths, they like to go under the boat. They're not typically found in the back of pockets with slack water, they thrive in current, main lake wind current if there's no generation.
