Is largemouth bass called ditch pickles?
Another name for largemouth bass is "larges" or "bucket mouse." In the video "90% of BASS FISHING in 15 Minutes" by BassFishingHQ, it is mentioned that largemouth bass can be further categorized into northern largemouth, Florida largemouth, and H1 hybrids. The mix of these subspecies produces the biggest largemouth bass in the world, which can weigh over 22 pounds. Largemouth bass are the most widespread among the bass species and can be found in neighborhood ponds, natural lakes, rivers, creeks, and reservoirs in all 50 states and around the globe. They can be identified by their colors and markings, but the most identifiable trait is their mouth. When the mouth is closed, the jaw of a largemouth bass will extend past the eyeball, hence the name "largemouth."
