What type of grass is this?

[Bandersnatch]

Ontario, clear water lake that has a good amount of milfoil but this grass is around. It’s typically to the top of the water in as high as ten feet or more. It’s sparse, bass do not seem to relate to it like the molfoil

My belief is "Clasping leaf pond weed"

@Ski is correct. -- that is clasping leaf pondweed -- it is the primary native deep-growing vegetation in northern natural lakes.  This is usually what people (Mark Zona, and In-Fisherman for instance) mean when they say "cabbage."

 

Bass very much do relate to it, but because it is so tall, and often grows in large fields, they can be at any depth and any location.  Lakes vary widely in how dense it is, and how much it is mixed with other stuff like milfoil, coontail, etc. 

 

Most of the natural lakes in our area (W. Michigan)  have at least some of it, but it can get choked out by stuff like invasive Eurasian Milfoil and Curly-leaf pondweed.
