Black Bass

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I heard it depends on a few different things. One being the cleanlyness of the waters and 2 being the healthyness(??) of there food. I know a spot were I catch both large and smallmouths with the whitest belly I have ever seen on a Bass. Makes sence no?

I can honestly say I never saw a GREEN smallmouth...ever. Now, with these pic's, seeing is believing!

Don't think it's a health issue; both specimens (green and bronze) from these photo's look robust and healthy (except for the small ulceration/injury on the green S/M). So there is something to ponder: that is, why such a big variation in appearance? More probably a result of genetics over time to better aid their survival in their particular home-base water environment... :?: That's my uneducated guess, anyway!! :lol: I suppose that could be disproved if you get a greenie and a bronzie out of the same body of water, or at least the same area in a particular body of water if it's a large system. Hmmmmmmm....
