Bass Fish in all Forms

Bass come in many forms, but there is no mistaking the feeling one gets when you set hook into one of these badboys of the fishing world. Come one and all, no matter if you are into tournament bass, trophy bass, or just plain old recreational bass fishing, this group is for you. Below are some of the more common bass types...

When talking about tournament fishing, most clubs, leagues, trails or tours will only count bass which are actually not in the bass family, but in the sunfish family. They are also referred to as "Black Bass." They include the Largemouth, the Smallmouth and the Spotted Bass. Some tournaments may allow others, but these are the primary species. Take a look below...

Remember, Always release your catch...

Largemouth

Smallmouth

Spotted

Other Freshwater Species...a lot of times some of these fish are also allowed in tournament bags

Comment by randy sweigart on December 8, 2009 at 1:07pm: Hello my name is Randy Sweigart
in my opinion there are so many bad fishing shows out ! I am looking to write and produce one of the good ones ! I am looking for a female to co anchor the show . The show will be mostly California bass fishing.
But some show will be shot in Mexico and Alaska. I am looking for an energetic well spoken 18 to 35 year old female with some outdoors experience not necessarily bass fishing. If you want to be part of a start up production than this may be for you! Apply in writing give some information about your self to my page at
