that was just what someone told me they were.i dont go fishing that often,when i do,its just "i caught a fish",not "oh oh i cought a bass".im not on a name basis with all the natives.i know what bluegills sunfish,and catfish look like and thats about it

Thats ok, were not getting on your case or anything. As long as you know what kind of fish they are so you dont break the regulations!
 
As the name states,i keep the ultimate,most widespread,and the most amazing piscivore known to north america..........The Largemouth Bass!!!!! I have mine in a 90 gal,and even if i had him(her?) in a 300 gal,i feel it'd still be territorial,but nontheless,a fish from down the street that can eat mice,and was free,and is from my zipcode was too appealing!! :):):) Happy fishkeeping
