He’s right, it’s a smallie.
Largemouth usually have the dark lateral line mid body and if you close the mouth the jaw hingle will extend back past the eye.

What makes you think largemouth? It’s got the red eyes, the face stripes, it’s more brown than green, and it’s mouth is small. A largie that size would have a mouth twice as big.
