Depends on the state. 12 inches in some, 14 in others. But as a top predator, bass should be released.
A large, powerful member of the sunfish family, the largemouth bass is the most sought after gamefish in the world, stocked in many foreign lands.
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.
Technically, the question you wanted to ask is "can a large mouth bass produce offspring with a crappie?" "Mating" and "reproduction" are not synonymous. For example, a dog will "mate" (i.e, have sex with) with just about any animal that will have him. Similarly, a large mouth bass could technically "mate" (have sex with) a crappie in that the bass could spread his milk (sperm) over crappie eggs. However, only two animals of the same genus will produce offspring when they mate. The large mouth bass's genus and species is Micropterus salmoides. The white crappie is genus and species Pomoxis annularis. The black crappie is genus and species Pomoxis nigromaculatus. There are others, but you get the drift. The two types of fish are completely different genus and species. Thus, the answer to your real question is no, the sperm from the bass would not fertilize the crappies eggs.
Yes. They eat many species of smaller fishes, including the yellow perch.
Sometimes. They have been caught in larger creeks and estuaries, near their confluence with rivers and lakes.
I am unsure what constitutes a 'Game Fish' but Crappie and Bass are freshwater fish. Catfish have a large variety and many are saltwater fish. Bass do have some varieties that are saltwater but most do not resemble the small or large mouth varieties that most people associate as 'bass.'
you can fit about 17 mini eggs in your mouth, or at least i can
Yes, the largemouth bass has been stocked in many impoundments there, and is thriving.
They can lay up to 21,000,000 eggs. That's a lot isn't it?
About 5.6 large eggs equal 8 small eggs
9 large eggs equals 7.2 extra large.
