0g as keeping a wild fish that reached adulthood is definitely not a good idea as they won't adjust to aquarium life and will suffer for it. if you want to keep a largemouth absolute min is 300g for a solo fish bigger is always better.

I found a 850 gallon aquarium for sale today. It's 9.5' long X 4' wide X 3' tall but I'm still unsure if that would be a big enough aquarium for a bass like that.

50% of people would say it's big enough for a Dovii and 50% would say it isn't lol

Take your pick which side you're on

No offense, but that's like worrying about if a 3 car garage is going to be big enough for your sedan.

No offense taken. So you're saying a 270gallon aquarium would be big enough for this 8.5lb fish?

I suppose it would depend on the dimensions of the 270 in question.

I just talked to a guy that used to have a fishing bait shop and he had a 270gallon in the store with a 10lb and 11lb bass in it. He said the only way he'd do that again is if he had his bait shop again. He said the eat a ton at that size.
