What other species do you catch while fishing for bass?

[tentimesover]

I was out this morning for about 5 hours fishing for bass.  I was cranking with a pearl white Bomber type lure.  I caught 4 bass, 1 catfish and 1 buffalo.  The buffalo was a 3 pounder and put up a very good fight.  This bomber lure seems to be the most multicultural in the different types of fish it catches.  Yesterday I caught a 1.5 lb hybrid bass on it too.

What species do you catch while bass fishing?

Got to love it when you get a surprise like that!  

I catch a lot of rock bass and crappie on jigs in a couple of lakes I fish.

Channels on plastic worms and even spinnerbaits.

One lake I fish has white bass in it also, seem to always catch a couple of those when I'm cranking.  

I've kept some of the white bass and channels on occasion, kind of cool to be able to fry up some fish even after a day on the water just doing some bass fishing!

We usually fish deep, off-shore structures for smallmouths using the drop shot and other assorted plastic baits, like Senkos, Fat Ikas and Smallie Beavers. Last year I caught 4 salmon and 2 lakers while bass fishing. I've also caught white perch, yellow perch and sunfish! Here's what the salmon look like on the Quabbin Res. in MA:

we've pulled some decent pickerel out of the lake this year, there's musky in the lake but I haven't caught one yet.  They stock walleye, haven't got one of those either lol.  But only time I catch anything other than bass besides pickerel is when I'm using a small crankbait, and I'll get some perch and bluegill.  I've got a few crappy as well.  that's about it for me.

[twitchfish]

I have a gift for catching snapping turtles. 2 this year. One on a really nice $6 spinnerbait (avatar) and one on a jig.

Other than that, all year long only one bull bluegill and one tiny little crappie.

[Raul]

Depends on where I 'm fishing, bluegills are the most common, ocassionally a catfish or a tilapia, when I 've fished in gar country I 've caught gar, when I 've fished where there are trout then trout.

That sure looks like a tiger muskie. Beautiful fish & coloration.

[Brad70]

I caught a nice sized channel cat on a crankbaits yesterday actually. Hooked him in the back, poor ugly guy was just swimming along and got snagged I guess.

[BassDeaton01]

I caught a bream on a jitterbug a couple of days ago. I thought it was a bass until it darted to the bottom really fast and I caught a glimpse of it. That was a first time for me.
