I just can't see pulling a grown, wild fish from it's natural environment and tossing it in a tank. That must suck. Great looking fish though regardless.

Smallmouth tend to like cooler water with more current than Largemouth and thus are harder to keep in aquaria, the spotted Bass is almost the same size and would be easier to keep in a 300g. aquarium than would the largemouth bass (which can reach over 30inches long) and the Smallmouth bass.
 
i figure ld it was the temperature change because i forgot i plugged my heater in and i got him from the river and out here in illinois its not to warm yet but i got my tanks temp down with a chiller so im hoping thats better for the fish right now
