Large mouth bass must be 14 inches in most states to be kept when caught. However, most competant anglers practice catch and release, as bass are top level predators, and are near the top of the food chain.

How much will it cost for a 125 gallon tank with the filteration systems and aerators for largemouth bass bluegills yellow perch ad crappies?

A large mouth Bass gets to around 30 inches long and weighs up to 22 lbs and could make a meal of the other species you are intending to keep, so a very large tank would be essential with plenty of hiding places for the others species to hide in. A yellow Perch (or Redfin) grows to around 21 inches and about 5 lbs. A Bluegill is considerably smaller at around 16 inches and about 2 or 3 lbs. Crappies grow to 21 inches or so and weigh in at around 5 lbs. too. So if you wish to keep one of all the species you mentioned, and have them survive for any length of time, you will need more like a minimum of a 500 gallon tank. That would cost you several thousand dollars.
