I had no idea there were such a fish, so there smallmouth bass and i take it there cold water yeah? they look cool how big do they get dude?

I think in the wild they can average anywhere between 10-20 inches, with the world record being 11 pounds, 15 ounces. They are an awesome gamefish, similar to the largemouth bass. The smallmouth will fight much harder than a largemouth of similar size however, and jumps out of the water like crazy when hooked.

sounds like a fish that ive been dieing to catch, im after a frsh water fish with a fight, none of them around here are like that, even our 5ft murray cods just swim upto you when you hook them lol, i need somthing with a fight and alot of action.

where are you from VIP?

The land of OZ lol

I'm a big bass as a game fish fan, my gf's dad has a back yard pond with blue gill and large mouth, biggest yet was about 5-6 pounds nice fight.

good stuff! My biggest largemouth caught on rod and reel is 7lbs.

good looking bass.:D

Behind Pike, those are my favourite fish to catch!

It's cool that you are keeping a native tank! I want to put some in our pond :D

i have a spot on the Youghiogheny River that from late april to mid june you can see a 8"- 14"smallmouth defending his territory every 8 feet. the water is clear and shallow, and if you cast anything near ones nest they snatch it right up, not because they want to eat it, but because the don't want it there. it's kind of unfair, but i release them immediatly

crap sorry everyone!!

Here is a pic of my best small mouth bass. They are sweet fish. I bet they would be sweet to keep. Right now I have a warmouth in a 50 gal. They are much like a rock bass with more of a green color.

That Smallie is awesome Largemouth...Beautiful colors. I've only caught one Smallmouth bass in my life and that was in north Pennsylvania. I wish we had them in our area. All I get are largemouths and spotted bass :D


This is the Largemouth I own

How big is your basses that you guys are keeping?? What size tank? Any other fish witht them?

I am keeping a warmouth right now. I used to have some bluegills with him but he didn't like them. Anything else I might try? He is in a 50 gal.

You might want to start a new topic wings, sorry to say but Largemouth left the hobby whitch is a shame...See our banner? that was his tank :(

Largemouth left the hobby?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

:wtf:

Any idea why?

I think he was moving house thats why, he said he will be back in a year or two maybe.
