Has anyone tried keeping a Largemouth Bass?

Here's a link to a page made by someone who has tried to keep LMBs. P.S. Be careful the president doesn't find out you have LMBs.

Good thing Minnesota has no problems with them. And yes I've checked many times, LFS sells them too so the president can deal with them first...

My LMB takes down 20 fatheads a week. Eating machine. I even through a piece of ham in, he ate it. When fishing on a local lake for sunfish I had a bass take my bobber and swim around with it for half a minute before spitting it out.

never tried it i think it would be too tempting to go fishing in the tank

 

[Gamefishin]

Haha I tried it........lol

I snipped off the hook on my jigs and used a bobber and the Bass took it, just like real fishing. Stupid fish, doesn't even look like food.

How do you know what looks like food from a fish's point of view??? Stupid human.

Well I used some fake jigs that looks like nothing that would ever be in the water. Speaking of "stupid" ever wonder why sometimes you go fishing and the realistic jigs don't do crap but the crazy wacky ones work.

Stupid fish....

Feed the bass alot of food, they are always hungry, but can go days with out food, i kept mine in a small pond and moved him to a large aquarium, he was happy for a few years, then suddenly died....and keeping native fish in Indiana is illegal ( and in many other states as well)
