I have a 6 inch largemouth bass it’s a juvenile. It eats out of my hands and does crazy tricks for food. It’s outgrowing my tank and I want to do what’s best. If you have or know of anyone with a large tank or small pond that lives in md please reply. It’s free.

It may be special to them, chill out. He can do what he wants with it. It would be best to go back in the lake or pond though.

I would release it but I am scared it might try to eat somthing to big or not be scared of other fish. It eats big gills and I make sure there not to big but without control it could eat to much
toni63 reply :
Maybe talk to a Bass Pro shops or some aquarium somewhere that needs some freshwater fish. I agree with your sentiments that it won't be scared of other fish and probably would just end up in the food chain pretty quickly.

Eats out of your hands and does tricks for food huh? Maybe you wanna reconsider keeping it.

Crappiebasser reply :
You should give it a knife and teach it to cut its food into smaller bites. Then it wouldn't choke and could protect itself from bigger bully fish.

Wow guys, now y'all are the ones acting really young. Look man when you release this fish in the wild it's not gonna try to eat the biggest gill out there, they will try to eat stuff bigger than their size key word try. The fish will be fine, make sure that the population is high with shad. Just find a nice lay down in some shade with some bait fish, then let the lil guy go. If you want to track the fish and make sure its ok, tag it so you can keep up with it. Good luck bro.

Check local regs before unauthorized transplant of a live fish into public waters - that's illegal in my area.

What they don't know won't hurt them right? Nah I'm just kidding. Yes I figured it should be illegal everywhere. Crappie where I live spread like crazy and REALLY hurt the bass population. We had some transplanted somehow to our lake and they have eaten the fry and the yearlings. They are huge from our place and they multiply like nothing.

crappie hurt your bass population? Only time I have seen this issue is when Bass are choking on them.

By any chance does this 6 inch bass happen to weigh 9 lbs?

Yes, they are everywhere and they eat a lot of the bait fish. It's not a very well balance place. It's like that every where down here though. They can get really big too and eat the smaller bass. We have the world record crappie right now at 5 pounds and 3 ounces.

If your in Florida, please come release him into my lake. It would be nice to have some 6 inch 1 pounders in there.☺
FishDewd reply :
That does seem pretty fat for a 6" bass! I don't think it's impossible though... I've seen some weird ones that were fat and stumpy, then some that were long and skinny. I have a lot of the latter here, 6-16" but that range from a quarter lb. to barely a pound to maybe close to 2 lbs. in some instances. I'm shocked such bass haven't been more aggressive with lures.

Considering how many folks claim 12" keepers weigh 2 lbs, 17" bass are 5 lbs and those largemouth that have their nose bumping the 20" mark are DD's, that claim seems right on...
In fact, didn't George Perry but his World Record in his back pocket for the walk home?

They'll compete directly with bass in a smaller pond because the main forage is minnows in the crappie's favorite size. It's not recommended to have both in a smallish body of water unless there's a really good food supply. That said, there's a 30 acre reservoir near me where they both do well.

This 1 pound, 6 inch bass reminds me of the Colorado state record largemouth bass that weighed 11 pounds, 6 ounces yet it only measured 22.5 inches. Guess these two bass might be related!

Good genes! I'd kill to catch one that weighed 3 lbs lol. Seriously, I'd do a backflip off the boat, dock, shore into the water... whatever the scenario happened to be lol. 11 pounder and I'd have a coronary and would have to be escorted out of there via ambulance! Possibly even get a psychiatric evaluation to make sure I didn't hallucinate the entire event!
