pet bass missing 2024
Savage Drumstick reply :
I put my 15 inch bass largemouth in my pond in the backyard, the pond already had some bluegill in it. It has a lot of big rock hides with deep long holes in it. Today I couldn't find him, I even poked all the holes and he didnt come out. just wondering if you fishermen know whats going on? thanks
Glaucus reply :
I would put up fliers. Pray he didn't get hit by a car. Have you checked the animal shelter?

WRB reply :
Bass rarely go into a dead end hole, catfish will.
Do you have any predators like herons or raccoons in the area?
15" bass needs lots of prey to feed on, how are you feeding your pet?

Welcome aboard!
Can't really help with regard to your "pet" bass,
but @WRB is right, predators likely to blame...

Hey thanks, I had him for many years since he was around 6 inch. he grew too big thats why i put him in the pond. no predators near by I live in southern california so if there is raccoon it will get wiped out by city right the way. it is not dead end holes it goes through. I feed him crawfish all the time and small fish
WRB reply :
I live in SoCal and raccoons are common. Raccoons are nuacturnal animals and adaptable to city life.
Try tossing a hand full of feeder goldfish in the pond, if the bass is around it will show up.

That’s a freakin’ monster!

Is this him? He may have moved to South Florida like everyone else in the country.

It is.
Prehistoric, even.
...Not mine, but I know the guy who caught it, and I love sharing the picture.
It's my favorite, "My fish eat your fish!" picture...
Is that juvenile of me? You bet!

Reminds me of a local gag sign someone posted around town where I live...

A 5 lb. squirrel actually sounds a bit frightening.

Musky. Big one, about 54" IIRC.

Drag a Ned rig on the "do nothing" banks in the pond.

You've never seen Jeremy Wade on River Monsters on Discovery Channel or Animal Planet? You should really check it out.

A friend of mine has a backyard pond (maybe the size of half a football field) and it's loaded with very aggressive albino catfish, small bluegilll, and bass that don't grow over 12 inches. I think the big catfish are eating everything because the Catfish are up to 14lbs. Not sure if this is common but could it be possible ?

Bluebasser86 reply :
The blue herons are always eating the bass out of my pond. Not sure how they see them in that mudhole, but I watched on catch 6 8-12 inch bass in about an hour one morning while I was in my deer blind. Ospreys will certainly catch a bass too. I had one carry a bass right over my head at Table Rock this weekend in fact.

Yeah I’ve seen it a couple times, but it’s been a long time. We don’t do cable or satellite. Thanks though ????????

Good choice.
We don't do broadcast TV either. I haven't seen a commercial in so long I've forgotten how annoying they are.
Same with radio. I listen to Sirius channels that don't have advertisements...
Life is good...

Ever notice how most shows like that follow a pattern through out every episode? Usually like
1. Intro
2. Background
3. Drama
4. Happy ending
its like every episode is going to be the episode where something doesn’t get built, somebody is going to get eaten, some truck is going to break, and they all end in success?

We do broadcast tv, mostly the channels that run the old shows, but my wife could live off Netflix for years!

Mine could too...and my daughter. I'd rather read, or look for informative info about my hobbies on the internet...it's quieter that way.
We don't miss broadcast TV at all, and one particular kind of advertising...the kind that seems to appear during election years...is blessedly missing from our lives.
News stopped being news a long while back, so there's no loss there either.
