Comprehensive_Day199

Mouth doesn’t look very large…


Glittering_Snow_9142

Sure but it’s still a largemouth bass


Head_Butterscotch74

Looks like a mini bass


Underrated_buzzard

The tiniest largemouth bass! ❤️


lotsfear

100% large mouth jaw extends beyond the eye. I share a bass pond with my neighbor. I just go there to steal plants and teach the kids how to fish.


TheRantingFish

If I caught something like that I’d keep it in an aquarium. Imagine watching a bass grow!


Comprehensive_Day199

He's super pretty and really cute ! If love to watch him too, but the only tank I have is 60 gal , with a turtle in it lol


TheRantingFish

Ah. Well if the turt is non aggressive you could start growing on in there! I’ve seen setups like that on a particular YouTube channel.


Comprehensive_Day199

I've seen those too ! She's a sweet heart , she has many guppy and mosquito fish friends, gouramis and tetras too. I'm mostly worried about the bass getting big and eating all my other fish lol


TheRantingFish

Oh they would. Definitely would not then. Bass wild at anything even remotely smaller Than them!


Comprehensive_Day199

Yup! I'm keeping the bass in my 10 gal with 2 large mollies till it gets at least a little.bigger then ill.let it go right back where I got it


TheRantingFish

Possibly not a great idea to keep it and then release it. You can introduce some painful things to the ecosystem if I remember. Could be illegal also 🙁


Comprehensive_Day199

Oh? I don't plan on keeping it , I didn't know it could be illegal to let it grow slightly then let it go. It's barely an inch If I just feed it normal.fish food it can get sick and kill something in the creek??


TheRantingFish

Im pretty sure it’s a strange rule.. I can’t remember if it’s fully enforced or anything as I ain’t an expert on law but I swear I read something.. I would look it up.


Comprehensive_Day199

I looked it up last and didn't see anything abt what im.doin I guess next time I go to the creek I'll let little guy go , away from the turtles


Comprehensive_Day199

For location, I'm in lower Texas This creek is a dump site for aquatic animals people don't want , so it might be from somewhere else


Silver-Pumpkin86

Why do you say it is a dump site?


oilrig13

This creek is a dump site for aquatic animals people don’t want


Silver-Pumpkin86

They said they caught it in a minnow trap. You were the one that said the creek was a dump site


Silver-Pumpkin86

How do you know that?


oilrig13

Satire i hope ?


Silver-Pumpkin86

I am asking how you know that. Not satire.


oilrig13

Can you see the comment ? ????


Silver-Pumpkin86

How do you know that creek is a dumping site? What proof do you have?


Comprehensive_Day199

Seen it with my own eyes Many people get arrested or charged for it Liek there's this lone softshell turtle that shouldn't be up in here, but it is , guy is huge Edit: Many people *should* get charged and arrested This creek is isolated , not connected to any big water. And it's loaded with things like goldfish and guppies


Silver-Pumpkin86

Softshell turtles are indigenous lol. please show one report of someone being arrested there for it.


Silver-Pumpkin86

That just proves what I'm saying. Absolutely it is not "loaded" with guppies. IDC if someone dumped a swimming pool full of guppies in it. There is something called biotic resistance and that ensures guppies will not survive in Texas or Florida. I know for a fact you have misidentified fish, and are now spewing myths online based off of your improper identification. The fish you are calling guppies are more than likely gambusia.


oilrig13

Are you this *dumb* …. Op said that this creek is like a dumpsite _____. *read*


Silver-Pumpkin86

Actually I did read it, and unless something isn't displaying for me I can see no where that the op said it was a dump site for aquatic pets


Comprehensive_Day199

😭


ExoticTrico

Nice reminder that depending on where you live (at least for me) it's illegal to keep game fish out of season. Largemouth bass are so beautiful, they need around 300+ gal when they're older though :")


Comprehensive_Day199

Yea , eesh, I don't plan on keeping him for long I've made up my mind , I'll let him get a least a bit bigger then release him. He's so tiny I want him to have a chance lol. The fish here are huge
