You will need a huge tank to keep them. You are best off finding a pond, lake, or river to put them back where they belong.

EDIT: Georgia Fish and Wildlife laws say minimum 12" on Bass. I would check the laws regarding this if you do decide to keep it.

Well your going to need a big aquarium, that's a no brainer.

Just like any other fish, they probably prefer live foods. I know that they are pigs, and will eat just about anything, I've seen a LM Bass eat a snake that was swimming across the lake. You can try bloodworms, idk if they will eat flakes.
