Also called Kentucky bass, this relative of the largemouth and smallmouth basses is found mainly in the Mississippi drainage, and introduced elsewhere. Lakes and rivers are its primary habitat. Feeds on small fish, crayfish, insects.

a largemouth bass can lay anywhere in between 2,000-7,000 eggs per pound that the bass weigh

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.

The Florida strain usually can live to around thirteen years, the northern to fifteen or more.

Yes. they will also attack anything shiney, small crabs , worms, frogs, and dragon flies. actually jumping out of the water to pluck them from low hanging folage They go for fake lures buy them at walmart there 5 bucks

Yes. All of the Morone family of true bass are good eating. The striper, yellow, and white perch as well.

bass are opportunistic feeders. theyll eat minnows, crayfish, aquatic bugs, worms, and basically anything that moves in front of them. ive even seen one jump out of the water and catch a dragonfly.

The largemouth eats smaller fish, frogs, crayfish, insects. They have been known to eat water snakes, baby alligators, even swimming squirrels!

No, but they will eat trout up to two pounds.

No, they see colors very well, almost as good as we do.

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.

It has a backbone so it is a vertebrate.

The largemouth is a tremendous fighter, with hard runs and leaps. But it depends on many factors. One, how cold is the water? In colder water, bass, being cold blooded like all fish, tend to be more sluggish than in warmer water. Two, the size of the fish. Big bass pull harder than smaller ones normally. Three, the reel and rod and line strength. Baitcasting reels have more reeling power than spinning reels, and the line test in pounds also determines the time involved. With eight pound test, for instance, have the drag looser to allow the fish to tire itself out. Heavier line will usually make it tougher for the fish to break the line and escape.

Use the right equiptment, and most fish can be boated after a minute or two.

Generally, a large mouth bass will be at the top of the freshwater pond food chain, so it has little to fear from other fish. Largemouth bass eat: Minnows, frogs, insects, small birds, spiders, and almost anything else that they can successfully swallow.

Both..More common in warm water environments.

It all depends on where and when you fish. One of my personal favorites is a spinnerbait you can use it in almost all situations. During Spring and Fall I would try a Yum Dinger worm weightless Texas rig. During early spring try a Yum Money Craw. Or try Shiners or Crawdads.

A symbiotic relationship is an association that is mutually beneficial. Wrasse fish feed on the parasites found on the black sea bass's body. In this case, Wrasse gets to eat, and sea bass gets rid of parasites. It's a Win-Win.

Around sixteen years is the maximum age for this species.

In the northern sections of its range, from D.C northwards, around four inches a year for the first four years, then slowing as the fish ages. In the south, five inches per year in VA, NC, Tenn, Arkansas. In the deep south, to six inches or more per year.

The largemouth bass (Micropterus Salmoides) is a ferocious predator. Here is the list of species that have been known to become prey of this fish.

Shad

bluegill

redear sunfish

green sunfish

flyer sunfish

crappy

bowfin

carp

pickerel

frogs

snakes

turtles

squirrels

baby ducks

mice

chipmunk

crayfish

The bass usually start spawning in early May, and it lasts until the middle of June.

Bass will eat anything, from mosquito larvae, water fleas to any kind of animal small enough to fit into it 's mouth, which include other fish, mammals like rats and mice, and ducklings. Smaller catfish are eaten on a regular basis. Notice that these are all made of flesh (meat) which makes them carnivores.

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.
