Bass (fish)

They eat fish smaller than them and aquatic plants.

The Wrasse fish clean the mouth and body of the bass fish which provide the wrasse fish food.

I assume you mean freshwater species, so, here you go.

Most states have a 14 inch minimum for largemouth, 12 for smallmouth and spotted bass. The above are actually just big sunfish.

For true basses, the striped bass has a 16 inch minimum.

The yellow and white basses have no minimum size in most areas.

As always, however, catch and release ensures plenty of sport for future generations, so let them go after catching them.

Yes. All fish are vertabrates.

Trout chow granules, moistened and wadded into a firm ball on the hook.

The striped bass is a member of the Morone, or true bass family. Others are the white bass, white perch, and yellow bass.

The striped bass is unique in it runs rivers from the sea to spawn, and, can live in freshwater, where it is often stocked in large impoundments.

Also known as:

Striper

Rockfish

yes

When ever you feel like keeping it and eating it.

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.
