How do I figure out if a bass is male or female?

Featured Replies

I tried to research on how to figure out what sex a bass is but I can't find anything useful.I know some one here knows.Thank You.

If it is 6 pounds or less it could be either or: over 6 pounds it's a female.

During the spawn the presense of eggs indicates a female: the present of milt - the male.

Other than that it is extremely difficult since they look alike.

There is much more in a scientific way to relate this, but it's better to just go catch them and forget it.

Kiss it.  If it flips you a fin, then its a male(although it could be a female thats already spoken for or one thats offended by your not-so-hot looks).  If it smiles and gives a tail wag..you've caught a female.

Ken- doesn't always work that way these days....lol

Times have changed.

the ones with the lipstick are the females ;D

there is really no way to tell unless the female is swollen with eggs (Ken?????)
