Wprich Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 5 hours ago, ol'crickety said: @TnRiver46 You're in first with seven. Since I started the thread, a meanmouth counts. It's genetically and visually distinct, so it stands alone. @Woody B Woody, Maine is the Land of the White Perch. They're in pert near every lake, pond, and bog, but I've never caught one. I always figured I would while fishing for black bass, but I think my lures are too big, even though they grow to 14 and 15 inches. I'm pretty sure I had one hooked once. I saw a flash of silver while trolling a spinner and then it freed itself. @Wprich What in the heck is that? It's beautiful! It's a Bartram Bass I first remember them being mentioned as a species maybe 6 years ago and think I caught that one in 2019 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User WRB Posted December 31, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 31, 2022 White Bass, Striped Bass are true bass, not a Black Bass family. If we are including “all Bass” then add salt water species. Giant Back Sea Bass White Sea Bass Calico Bass Barred Sand Bass Spotted Bay Bass Cabrillo Stripe Bass Fresh water White Bass Hybrids and Intergrades are not a species.

bigbassin' Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Florida LMB Northern LMB Smallmouth Kentucky Spot Suwannee Bass Shoal Bass Maybe an Alabama Spot? Not sure how you’d know without testing, but it was from part of the Coosa drainage Redeye bass Suwannee’s are probably my favorite, we’d wade clearish spring water in Florida to catch them. Loved square bills and top waters. Very unique fishery in the state, although not that different then how I’ve caught various river bass in other states. Ive caught 2 or 3 in North Georgia creeks I’ve got no clue what they were. Looked like a smallmouth/shoal bass cross but in an area that theoretically wouldn’t have either. Reckon either way they fall under the redeye bass category and then what sub subspecies they are is the question. I think Guadalupe and Bartram’s are the only widely recognized ones I still need to get. As far as sub-subspecies, I really want a Chattahoochee bass (Georgia) and a Warrior bass (Alabama). I believe the states recognize those fish as unique species but IGFA puts them in the same redeye category.

Super User N Florida Mike Posted January 2 Super User Share Posted January 2 F Largemouth ( probably northern too) Suwannee bass Sunshine bass ( cross between a striper and white bass I think.) I caught a strange looking bass once in the Ockloconee river that had red eyes and some red on its fins. I assume it was a red eye bass.

Never saw a gator once but still kept an eye open. 2 hours ago, ol'crickety said: Whoa! You are the leader, sir. I can’t think of the username right now, but I think another Florida guy may have me beat. I think he’s caught all 9 IGFA species and then several of the Georgia/Alabama recognized sub-subspecies.

Biggest perk of traveling for work is all the new waters you can fish! If it weren’t for that I’d probably just have FLMB, Kentucky Spots, Suwannee, and Smallmouth.
