Large Mouth Bass
WARM WATER Largemouth Bass SPECIES
Length 25 - 55 cm. (10-22 in.)

Largemouth Bass prefer warm, weedy waters. As with the Smallmouth Bass, the male guards the nest after spawning. Live bait is effective for both species. Leeches, minnows, and juicy nightcrawlers rigged beneath a float or with splitshot on the bottom will draw strikes. Average weight is 2 to 3 lbs (1 to 1.4 kg), but some can weigh 8 lbs. or more. This fish is found in Rice Lake, Chemong Lake, Pigeon Lake, Stoney Lake, Buckhorn Lake and more.
