jsharr ★ Posted June 25, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 25, 2019 I approve of this thread and the correct ID of the bass as spotted and not black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted June 25, 2019 Share #7 Posted June 25, 2019 I wondered where spotted bass came from. Is it a new species for Texas. I was use to large mouth, striped, and white when I was fishing the area. Here we have small mouth, and a few waters with large mouth bass. I still prefer to eat crappie and catfish from cool waters. Catfish caught in the spring from the Yellowstone River are very good, particularly ones about 18" long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, spots have been around for years and many probably just think they are black bass, as the differences are subtle. The only true Texas bass I know of is the Guadalupe bass, that is only found in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty much catch & release not as a matter of principle but I like to fish for fishing’s sake. Not so much to eat the fish. Salt water is different tho. During the Sand Bass spawn we’d limit out and filet them up. Tasty! I also keep mackerel where most wont as they are tasty brined & smoked.

I grew up eating fish we caught in Trinity and Galveston Bays, mainly croaker and different varieties of weakfish or trout. I much prefer warm water fish to trout, etc. Thus, it is nice that the Yellowstone River in our area is a warm-water fishery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be a black bass? The markings are different and so is the top fins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fished a lot for those when we lived in Ohio and I was growing up.. I remember spending hours on the boat catching and cleaning them, but I never remember eating fish at my parents house.... Kind of puzzling the more I think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
