How Many States Have You Caught Bass In? 2024


fishing user avatarROCbass reply : 

I was thinking about this during my recent vacation on the Vermont side of Lake Champlain. With the bass I caught that week, I have caught bass in three states.My list is New York, South Carolina, and Vermont. Of those, Vermont is the only one I have not lived in the first time I caught a bass there. How Many states have you caught a bass in, and what's your list?

I've only caught bass here in MO. The only other state I've fished in was Colorado, where I was fishing for and catching trout. I am hoping to catch all kinds of fish in a lot of different states (possibly countries) in the future though.

fishing user avatarRSM789 reply : 

Five - California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas & Florida.  The last 3 were all from shore on small lakes, yet produced fish over 4 lbs.  Arizona was the real surprise because the lake was part of their urban fishing program, meaning I had to dodge a homeless guy sleeping & a cheating couple making out on the bench in order to reach the water.

 

Caught some trout in Breckinridge Colorado, but was told there were no bass in those upper elevation ponds & streams.  Almost made some trout aficionado choke when I recommended stocking some smallmouth in his private trout stream.  I told him that won't eat too many of his 8" rainbows...

fishing user avatarjessejames556 reply : 

Just three: Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee. I flew out to California a few years back and hoofed it around Lake Isabella for 4 days each morning carrying all my gear and got completely skunked. I ended up heading up to the river that fed the lake and caught some trout on salmon eggs.
