Isn't this article about sea bass? Are striped bass in the perch family? Where are the freshwater bass - like largemouth bass, smallmouth bass? I am guessing that this article is a dump from an outdated source. |

This page confused me when I first saw it. I didn't even realize it was a disambiguation page until I saw the category at the bottom. Hopefully it's now a bit more clear! [[User:Ginkgo100|Ginkgo100]] 21:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC) |

::::: Fair enough. I don't feel that strongly about it, but it was good to have an overview in one place of what ''bass'' means. Looking through the other articles in the category, it seems that a number are not strictly disambiguation pages.

|||
Per [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Fishes#Bass|discussion]] at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fishes]], I've made this page into a disambiguation page again. Bass do not comprise a particular taxon, as fish called "bass" include species from many different families. Therefore, it's inappropriate under the WikiProject Fishes guidelines to have an article devoted to this disparate taxa. Instead, the article should further disambiguate among the different species. --[[User:Ginkgo100|Ginkgo100]] 18:35, 2 June 2006 (UTC) |

==Extraneous information== |

I removed the following information from the article since it more properly belongs in the [[Largemouth bass]] article or somewhere similar. This is a DAB page, more than anything else, and shouldn't really go into scads of detail about any one species. |

:"Largemouth bass can usually be found in large structures, such as submerged branches, logs or rocks. The largemouth is known to be one of the best "fighters" and a ferocious predator attacking just about anything that moves. Largemouth have even been known to eat ducklings and baby alligators. The world record largemouth bass was caught near Jacksonville, [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] on [[June 2]], [[1932]] by George Perry. It weighed 22 pounds 4 ounces and was caught from an oxbow lake off the Ocmulgee River called [[Montgomery Lake]]. This is one of the most sought-after records in the fishing world. [[Lake Eufaula]] is known as the "Bass Fishing Capital of the World." In a local pond you can probably catch a 2 lb., 20 in. large mouth bass.[http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/where/reservoirs/eufaula/]" |

Bass do not comprise a particular taxon, as fish called "bass" include species from many different families. Therefore, it's inappropriate under the WikiProject Fishes guidelines to have an article devoted to this disparate taxa.
