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

Suwanee Bass

Shoal Bass

Redeye Bass (often identified as a shoal bass)
