Animal Description

About the Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu)

The smallmouth bass is a popular game fish found in clear freshwater streams, rivers, and lakes worldwide. The smallmouth gets its name from its lower jaw, which juts out like a small underbite, less than its Largemouth counterpart. The fish itself is often brown to yellow in color, with dark, striping patterns. The male is typically smaller than the female, weighing around 2 lbs, where the female can grow anywhere from 3 to 6 pounds. The habitat of each smallmouth plays a significant role in its appearance, as a darker habitat produces a darker fish.
