Please stop hatin' on people who wish to keep 1 or 2 gaming fish.
There are fisheries that overfish and risk killing off a whole species, go bother them FFS.
Congrats btw, looks beautiful, give it a nice home and possibly a mate if possible. ^^

Totally not the point...and Im not ragging on the guy. The forum cant have it, and he will wish he didnt if he ever gets caught. Punishment for that is usually not only a HUGE fine, but also losing the privilege to fish for the rest of your life. So I just wanted to know if he knew the risks.

I have a baby SMB (I am on a collecting permit for WI fish.) and he learned to hand feed and accept almost anything. He also is growing very fast, but thats because he got put in a planted tank with high water temps.

Thank you very much for that. I don't know why I didn't correct anyone. I didn't want to be rude I guess lol but yeah I'm a chick XD
 
Bass are awesome, I had 3 from when they were an inch, but be careful, they will eat ANYTHING. I lost one because he literally bit off more than he could chew (a good size crayfish) and after of 3 days of swimming with it in its mouth, he keeled over and died :(
 
I forgot to montion he was only maybe 5" and the crayfish was a good 3.5"

I do not know what EVERYTHING entitles, but $800 seems a little high to me. If it were $600 I would say consider it. $800 for this is too rich for my blood, but then again it all boils down to how often a tank this size appears in your area.
