Anyone catching any smallmouth like these?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to say that the black spots are a natural color variation, that just happened to be the darkest smallmouth I've caught, it kind of reminded me of the fish in the 2nd and 3rd pic. Black spot does seem to be increasing all across the country lately. I did catch one or two out in Minnesota from a clear lake that had some very small black spots on them. I'm not too worried about it at this point though. It doesn't seem to harm the fish, they just look odd. Especially that black headed one.
