Pretty cool looking. Might consider a mount?
Hanford Bass? How many eyes did it have? Could it talk?
Used to catch them like that in the deeper water of the Columbia River all the time. I always figured they were just darker from living in the deeper water.
Bass (small and largemouth) tend to darken up in shallow water and lighten up in the deeper stuff.
QuoteBass (small and largemouth) tend to darken up in shallow water and lighten up in the deeper stuff. ?I have seen it the other way, lighten up in shallow water to blend in better, fish in shadows, or deeper water will be darker.Natural color change is part of their natural ability as a predator.If you put both of them in your live well for long enough, they would come out looking the same (other than size)
