Quillback Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Tom W and his wife were fishing the Kings today and they caught 5 of these dudes. He asked me what I thought it was and I believe it is a yellow bass. Main identifier I see is the two dorsal fins being connected. Seems like we had a discussion on here before about yellers and some folks say that have caught them in TR, but I may be remembering wrong. Anyway, what do you think, yeller or not? bfishn, BilletHead, dan hufferd and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blll Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yep, yellow bass for sure. Cousin to White bass, much smaller, more prolific. Not a good thing. David Goddard, skeeter and Quillback 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinwrench Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Well, it ain't a White or a Hybrid Striper (no visible lateral line) so I'm guessing Yeah, Yellow Bass. Yuck 😕 Quillback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizwilson Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We got into this discussion a few years back.....I sent a picture of one caught in the mouth of Roaring River, to the Missouri Conservation biologist that had informed me that we did not have yellow bass in Missouri. He was intrigued and dove into it. Apparently Arkansas had stocked some in Beaver. We all live down stream.

Champ188 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Been fishing Beaver for 24 years and have never caught one, nor has anyone that I know of in NW Arkansas. Don't blame us for what's in Table Rock. lol grizwilson, cheesemaster, Quillback and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did send off the photos of Les' yellow bass to MDC folks as well to make sure that they had this species documented in MO.

And I’ve also caught them out of TR . Johnsfolly, Quillback, bfishn and 5 others 8 Gone but not forgotten Martin Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
