| 1310.1 | Different fish! | SHAPES::BROWNM | Feelin' old at 19 !!! | Fri Jan 19 1990 05:36 | 12 |
| Andy, the Bass you mention are the Bass that live in the sea. They are
a different species to the Largmouth Bass that is found in North
America.
I think they've tried to introduce Largemouth Bass to th UK, but all
has failed.
I have seen pictures of Bass caught in the states, in books on lures,
and they seem to be the same shape as Perch.

| 1310.2 | Striped Bass? | DNEAST::OKERHOLM_PAU | | Fri Jan 19 1990 07:33 | 8 |
| I'd guess that the bass you are referring to are Striped Bass which
are a salt water species but do come up the Rivers to spawn and feed.
The minimum legal size limit for these fish in New England and the
Eastern coast is 33 inches (or has it gone up again to 36?). I think the
record is somewhere around 75 pounds or greater.
Regards,
Paul

| No - not the stipped Bass. The fish in the UK are all silver.

Andy et al : Does any of you have a Mc Claine's guide to Salt Water
Fish or Mc Claines Guide to Freshwater (Sweetwater) fish?
As Paul just mentioned our Salt water Striped Bass get to be well over
75 pounds. The size limit is 36 inches just to be legal. There are
other types of Salt water Bass around here including the RockBass. I
belive this is the same species of which you speak. I'll look itup
tonight when I get home.
Also when we talk of Flounder/Flats or Fluke, what we are refering to
is a very close reletive of the Sole that is common to your area. They
are not identical and there are no Sole in North American waters.
The Carp over here are direct decendants of the same Carp you have over
there. Way back when Moses was a pup, some Amish fellow thought it would be a
good idea to import them for a food fish. They got loose in some rivers
and went forth and multiplied (By the gizillions).
ELLS: Same here as you got there. They all go back to the Sargasso Sea.
And of course the CODFISH. So common around the world that when the
word fish is used as a legal term it is considered to mean Codfish.

Based on the bait they used to catch these fish ie squid I also assume
they are saltwater bass. The record sizes for freshwater bass in the
states runs 20+ pounds and are usually found in the warm water climates
where the fish can grow rapidly (Florida etc). In the northern waters
where I fish, catching Bass over 5 Lbs would be considered by many of
my companions to be a mountable size bass.

Hi all,
mistaken again eh ? All these variants of species really pose
a problem for easy comparisons. The bass I am on about are sea type
fish, but can be found in tidal stretches of rivers.
cheers all, andy
