3. Spotted Bass or Kentucky Bass (Micropterus punctatus)
4. Guadalupe Bass (Micropterus treculii)
5. As well as different species and sub species of the genus Micropterus.

Bass are generally filleted when taken on the table, and their flesh is white and firm, with a soft taste after being cooked. Largemouth bass gives the best striking ability among all other bass and usually gives the fisherman the most adventure and action. More bass anglers adopts “catch and release” fishing where bass are returned back to the water after being hooked and again retrieved, all this to test their techniques and ability. Bass are visual and scent predators so proper attention should be given to protect foreign scents like tobacco and plastics.
