Proponents of the small-mouth and large-mouth bass have | the respective fighting qualities of these two fish, and now we find fresh fuel heaped on the blaze by the insistence of the small-mouth advocates in calling their fish the “black bass” and referring to the large-mou bass or strawberry bass. The friends of the large-mou point out that the “black < known over the country as the premi game fish of wide distribution, is ordinarily considered the large-mouth kind. Thus, they say, the large- mouth bass, through popular ap- proval, is the black bass, and the small-mouth, with its limited range, is a variation. It is true that the large-mouth bass, in pictures and in the minds of | the majority of anglers, has become the symbol of the black bass. How- ever, there seems little doubt but that the small-mouth is the black ba The small-mouth bass 1s found largely in rocky streams or lakes, and his protective coloring agalinst the background of his habitat is a stony gray, often approaching black. I have caught many bass with bellies that black. In the Mississippi and St Croix Rivers, this black shading, which extends over the whole fish, is pronounced. Large-mouth bass, on hand, are found in weedy pectally among lily pads, beds and In shallow, gra Thus their protective coloring grassy green, shading to a belly. Therefore, it seems quite logical that the small-mouth is the black bass, and the large-mouth merits his name of green bass, strawberry bass or Oswego bass The large-mouth bass is called ‘“green trout” or “trout” in Southern waters, almost universally. which is another point in favor of the small-mouth as the original black bass.
