[cool] LOOKS LIKE WHAT WE CALL A BAR FISH. HAS A BLOOD LINE IN IT. CUT THE BLOOD LINE OUT AND FRY THAT BABY UP.

i just let the lil thing go. i was packing my stuff up and reelin in my lat cast when he bit, so i wasnt really looking to keep a fish lol
[signature]
I'd let that one go too. I like em a little bigger. I also love those guys because they all seem to hang out together. ONce you start catching them, you'll keep catching them.

we catch our share of those while targeting walleyes in the great lakes.
about twice that size would be the minimum size to keep.

Actually, that is a yellow bass. They are almost identical to the white bass except they have a yellow tint to them.

Realy? Its a whole other species? Seems to me that would be like breaking down Walleye into Greenback Walleye and Gold Walleye... But what do I know. I've never caught the "Yellow" variety here
[signature]
The yellow bass are mostly in the southern and eastern areas of the lower 48. The stripes are a little more solid than the white bass and it has a yellow tint to it. Google yellow bass and you'll see. It is basically a white bass, but obviously a different species. They reproduce other yellow bass, these are not white bass that sometimes are yellow. It is a consistently produced genetic genotype, so yes it is a different species.

i went and looked at a better picture of it, well, the second one i caught, where im holding it up clearly, and i can definitely see the yellow tint.

Good info. Learn something new every day [
]. Well, going back to my earlier posts, I suppose I don't love those guys, as I have never seen one in Manitoba waters. However, I'm sure they are very much like white bass, and I'll hazard a guess that they share many of the schooling and good eating and fun catching features.

being as its still hot outside, not cold yet, if i go fishing before it gets cold and i catch one, maybe ill eat it and let ya know lol
[signature]
hold on to your dipsy diver! beleive it or not, walleye are broken in to sub and hi bred species, yellow being one, sorry I dont remember the names of the others. I know them but just cant recall them at the moment. Michigan ohio illinois and wisconson has about 5 different species of walleyes in their waters..... "Just an FYI"
I know there are other sub and hibred species of the black bass too, small mouth and large mouth being the most popular.
the subspecies of bass is generaly a geograffic thing. meaning they dont exist out of their natural areas because there has been no market to move them around the country.
