How big does a largemouth bass get?

Answer 1

I believe you would find that it depends on the body of water and the part of the country. In Texas, for example, depending on its length (naturally) a largemouth bass 10 in long would weigh about .48 lb. A fish 29 in long would weigh about 17.5 lb. Therefore, according to charts, the "average" fish of 19.5 in would weigh about 4.31 lb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It depends on how much food it has eaten.

Answer 2

Depends on the location, In South East Kansas most state lakes you can easily catch 1 to 2 pound bass. In some farm type ponds its likely that most of the bass you catch will be 3 to 5 pounds. Its not really possible to get an average because each lake / pond will be different.

If you want to catch reasonably large bass your best bet is to find a very good farm pond with permission to fish it.

There are many species called bass in freshwater. The true bass, the Morone family, includes the white bass, yellow bass, white perch, and the striped bass. The striper is the largest, up to 125 pounds, but usually averages five to fifteen pounds. The other three rarely reach over three pounds.

The sunfish family has several species called bass. Largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, shoal basses. The largemouth is the biggest, up to 20 pounds or more. Smallmouth can reach twelve, spotted bass to ten. Shoal bass rarely reach three.

The official record is 22 pounds 4 oz. This fish was caught in Montgomery Lake, Georgia by George Perry in 1932. Recently, a bass weighing slightly over 25 pounds was caught in Lake Dixon in California, but was disallowed as a record because she was foul hooked in the side, and not caught by biting the lure. A breeze roiled the water and the fisherman could not see the fish hit the bait, he felt a slight tug, thought the fish had taken the bait, which she had not. She was on a bed, and the male had evidently bumped the lure to move it away from the spawning area. The fisherman set the hook, and foul hooked the big bass, known as "Dottie", because of a dark spot on her gill plate underside. Dottie was released, and found dead a year later.

It is estimated that because the man was honest and admitted the fish had been foul hooked, he lost over ten million dollars in endorsements and the "bounty", which has stood unclaimed for years for a new record largemouth bass.
