Largemouth Bass

The largemouth bass is the most popular freshwater fish in North America. American Sport Fish produces three separate genetic strains of largemouth bass: Florida Bass, Northern Bass and Tiger Bass®.

The Florida bass tends to grow larger than the northern bass, however, the northern bass is more aggressive and tolerant of cold temperatures. The Tiger Bass®, a unique American Sport Fish creation, combines the aggressive nature of the northern bass with the growth rates and trophy-size potential of the Florida bass.

Seasonal Tips

Threadfin Shad Are Available Now!

shad_harvest_webSexually mature threadfin shad are now available from American Sport Fish Hatchery. Our hatchery ponds are full of healthy adult threadfin shad and we will begin our deliveries on June 15.

These shad will spawn several times in your lake this summer. Many years ago, most of the lakes and ponds in the southeast were stocked during the summer using this technique. Most lake managers in East Texas continue to stock threadfin shad during the summer, with good success.

If you are not observing schools of threadfin shad on the surface of your lake in the late afternoon, you need to add them to your lake. If you miss a threadfin shad spawn this year, you may reduce food production for your bass for the next two years.

Stock Your Pond!

By stocking the right kind of fish and following a well-developed plan of maintenance and fertilization, you can grow trophy-sized fish in your pond. Let American Sport Fish Hatchery help you reach your pond's maximum potential!
