Definitely a largemouth. His mouth is open, that is why the mouth doesn't extend further back. If you look at the pic where the fish is still fighting in the water, you can see how far back the mouth goes. I never rely on that method for identifying bass. Just look at the markings and coloration. It's green with a horizontal black line along it's side. Smallmouth have vertical bars and tend to be more of a bronze color.
