Largemouth bass are dark green in color and can be distinguished from other bass by a very dark black stripe along the side of their body.
Bass eat small fish (including other bass), insects, larvae, crayfish, tadpoles,worms, frogs, salamanders, lamprey ammocoetes and can eat fish feed if trained to do so.
Bass aren't very active when the water is below 50F so they begin spawning in late May when the water temperature raises. They can each a size of 3-4 inches by 60 days from hatching. This is why most of our bass are available in July when the bass have grown.
In a pond with good food supply and water temperature a Bass can grow up to 8 inches in the first year of stocking and be nearly half a pound.
The bass we sell came from Texas and are only raised from that Texas stock. They are similar to Indiana bass but their pattern includes a few more speckles and tend to grow faster. They are trained to eat feed but will go back to their instincts eating the above mentioned food when placed in a pond.
Normally the only largemouth size sold is 2 inches. These bass would be great for new ponds or to give life to an older pond a new breeding stock of bass.
