This organism was found in by backyard pond. It is a largemouth bass. It was found August 30th, 2019. This bass was caught in the middle of the pond while I was on a small boat with a fishing pole. The bait was a rubbery fake worm. Bass are the most popular game fish in North America. They like to hide between rocks and trees in the water. You can also find them in rivers, lakes, streams and reservoirs.
The day after local floods had ravaged parts of central Texas, my wife found this 20-inch long Largemouth Bass in the middle of Creek Road where Onion Creek had been over the roadway earlier, but had receded.
