Your Most Beautiful Bass of 2022

[Darth-Baiter]

I like how some aren't that Big.  big doesn't mean beautiful.  

 

I like the ones with the distinct stripe or pattern down the middle.

This schoolie was barred up nicely. I had my eyes on the rest of the school which were massacring the perch by the looks of it.

Looks like a five string and a six string....dang.....I had loads of trouble with four!

Sold my guitars and bought fishin' rods!

Initially thought it was a smallie coming out of the water.  Had a nice vibrant brown color to it.  Caught in northern WI on a work trip.

That one's a winner!

It's a Bartram's Bass.  An upland species from N GA and the prettiest bass I've ever caught.  They don't get much over 12".

I can't stop looking at the Bartram bass. It's stunning, like a Splake or a Tiger Musky are stunning!

[JackstrawIII]

Not my biggest, but I think this is the handsomest bass I caught this year. Nice color pattern, very healthy and well proportioned. 

[Swamp Girl]

Jack, that fish is a looker: nice belly, wide tail, and as healthy as can be.

The rock quarry bass always look neat, you can see their black tail tips from a mile away

How do you think most of these old quarries and pits get stocked with Bass?   I've heard the eggs of bird feet was more of a myth, but outside of that and human's hand, I have no idea how a pond for example just randomly gets a Bass population.
