Sm bass are neat fish, I have a sm and a lm, and IMO sm are much more picky eaters.

They only will eat a worm so far but keep trying dry food.
They will grab it but spit it out

i used to have a Lm get him started on pellets as soon as possible, i aloso caught a bunch of lil 2 and 3 inch sunfish babys wih a net but the GT was lookin hungary so he got em, i had to get rid of the large mouth cause he was growin wayyyy to fast, awsome fish tho

Im trying to get my bass onto pellets too. Try soaking them in water or a few minutes to help soften them up and make them feel more like "food". I just got them to eat krill today also, so try that too.

ya its right around 6 in maybe a tid bit less..i measured it against the tank last night after it ate

If you measured it after it ate then you might have gotten its length mixed up w/ its girth lol
