Largemouth bass are one of the best sport fish in America. Known for their tenacious fighting spirit, they are great for small ponds in Oregon and Washington. Largemouth bass grow very well in small ponds and can reach sizes of 1 to 3 pound in a year or two. We recommend they be stocked along with bluegill and black crappie. The bluegill and black crappie will provide food for the largemouth bass while the bass will prevent the bluegill and black crappie from over populating your pond.
