Product Description
Largemouth bass is a member of the sunfish family, though larger than those species considered "panfish". Together with six other species of bass, they make up the group typically known as the black basses. Other than the largemouth, the only other member of the black basses in Washington is the similar looking smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu. Largemouth bass are less "flattened" and are longer than other sunfishes. They usually have a general greenish-black color to them, with a prominent dark horizontal band along their midline, whereas smallmouth bass are more of a brownish-green color with subdued dark vertical bands. Also, with their mouth closed, the maxillary (upper lip) of the largemouth bass extends fully past their eye, whereas in a smallmouth bass, it will reach only the middle of the eye. Average 12-15 inches. Largemouth bass can grow 17-20+ inches in quality populations.
The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is a carnivorous freshwater gamefish in the Centrarchidae (sunfish) family, a species of black bass native to the eastern and central United States, southeastern Canada and northern Mexico, but widely introduced elsewhere. It is known by a variety of regional names, such as the wide mouth bass, bigmouth bass, black bass, bucket mouth, largies, Potter's fish, Florida bass, Florida largemouth, green bass, bucket mouth bass, Green trout, gilsdorf bass, Oswego bass, LMB, and southern largemouth and northern largemouth.
Their diet includes smaller fish, shad, worms, snails, crawfish, frogs, snakes, and salamanders. They prefer habitats with abundant littoral vegetation and have a lifespan of 10 to 16 years in the wild. Largemouth bass spawn in the spring when water temperatures reach above 60°F. They are popular among anglers for their vigorous resistance when caught.
