According to the fishery biologist in this state if it has a distinct tooth patch on the tongue and the jaw plate rear hinge does not stick past the eye then it is a bonified Kentucky. I see the patch of teeth but I can't tell about the jaw hinge. I have seen largeheads with tooth patches but I do feel it's fairly rare. I know one thing that is a Hogdaddy and the latteral line does look a bit like A Spot but the body structure to me looks like a largemouth.

One thing for sure that is a nice fish buddy, be proud.
