Here's A Bass Question
« on: February 12, 2012, 09:56:20 AM »
When a person goes to land a freshwater bass, you can grab it by the lower lip, and it stuns it,, while with seabass it just ticks them off  :bash:

I've had my thumb torn all to heck in a season of fishing seabass, and I'll keep going back.. Ain't nothing like bar-b-q seabass  :drool:

way bigger "teeth" and they are tough as hell.  You can always tell how good the sea bass fishin is by a persons thumb.  Try atlas gloves and you will never lip a sea bass with out them again. :tup:
If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Never had a largemouth do anything like a seabass, but I am not a largemouth guy either.

I usually grab in the gill slits. Though doing that last year got a trouble hook in my hand and after half an hour of slowly cutting the barbs out I got back to fishing. Which sucked cause either the bite ended or the fish didn't like my hand meat as bait.
Make every shot count cause ya might not get another.

I have caught hundreds of them, just giving you a bad time in good fun. You are right, sometimes they can wiggle like heck, but I keep going back for more. :)
