Sorry if the pics are crap. I took them with my phone. i've also got a slight green water (algae bloom) problem. Should clear up in a few days. This is a 55 gallon. The bass is about 5 inches long. Largest bluegill is about 3 inches long.

Nice bass! I'm guessing you got it from some local place in Florida?

It's amazing to see the differences in bass just because of locale (Mass.)

Very nice pictures

 

[krap101]

don't you need a license to keep bass in a fishtank? or something like that.. or is it when their over a certain size?

 

[StngStr]

I have no clue about the rules. Don't really care either. Yes, they were all caught locally. Bass and largest bluegill were caught while fishing.

Keeping game fish in a fish tank could cause major problems, legally. I don't know if it varies by the state, but in IL you must have a permit as krap101 mentioned. Check with your local laws.

 

[StngStr]

no thanks.

Regardless of the legality, StngStr, you're attitude is not appropriate.

In your opinion anyway. You know what they say about opinions.

Simply for your edification...it is illegal to keep game fish in an aquarium in the State of Florida (have you ever seen one in an LFS for sale or even on display...duh...), further the penalties are pretty stiff, and if your familiar with Floridas seizure laws you'll know they are fairly broad for the police and have even greater lattitude for the Dept of fish and game, which is considered an environmental police agency. Basically what I'm saying is that if your caught, it is not out of the realm of possibility that they could take your house from you, it is definitely not likely, but not impossible and if you were to have the same attitude with the arresting officer or the judge, as you've had here, the possibility goes up exponentially

Pay no heed to StngStr. he will not be posting on our forums any more.

Yes the laws regarding wildlife possesion in that state are rather stiff. Game and fish in the sate of Florida actually have more power to investigate than the FBI. At any time under any circumstance, and without a warrent Florida Wildlife Commission can come into anyones house or residence and conduct a search. Before you all say no way check you will see I am Right. I am so glad I am out of that state even though I was doing nothing illegal; it is still scary to think FWC has that much power.
