The bass is a fish, and all fish are vertebrates. They have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.

Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.

When it comes to determining if an animal is a mammal, three characteristics are universal - all have hair (even whales and dolphins have tiny mechanoreceptor hairs), all produce milk in MAMMARY glands (dead give away, huh?) and all have three inner ear bones. Since fish just simply don't have any of these characteristics, they are not mammals.

Fish are also different from mammals as they lay eggs and breathe through gills.
