Largemouth Bass Behavior 2: After The Spawn: Development: Coming Into The World

This, the second in the Nature of Fishing documentary series on the behavior of the Largemouth Bass, takes a deep look into the development of Largemouth Bass following the spawn, through their first year of life. While we’ll be following the physical stages that bass undergo, our focus is on the development of bass behavior. We could almost say that we are about to explore “how bass think”. Better, however, to use the term, cognition: How living things "make sense" of the world around them; That is, what bass would "think" about, and why.
A tip for watching this information dense and fast moving documentary: Use the pause button! I realize I should have made better use of pauses between concepts. They come pretty rapid fire, which allowed me to keep the video to an hour in length. But, may not allow viewers the opportunity to take in new concepts and their terminology. This can even lead to drifting and drowsiness! (Maybe a cure for insomnia if allowed to play through!) So... hit pause to allow yourself to digest things. And hit the back button to replay things where needed. Not everyone is used to info-dense documentaries, nor is everyone running at the same 'processing speed' (mine is actually on the slow side). It may also help to break things up by watching in segments. So put in the appropriate digestive pauses that are appropriate for you.

I hope you enjoy this documentary and that it helps you in understanding what you are seeing out on the water. The very reason I pursue the 'Why's' that underlie the What's, Where's', When's, and How's of fishing.

    Hi, CCG. Thanks! Gee. :) I'm such a nerd that I can get pretty deep. I have to decide where the scientific jargon should leave off and the plain english begin. My wife is esp helpful here. She's an elementary school teacher, trained in language acquisition, and has taught overseas, so she knows how to communicate across a lot of barriers. Can’t say she, or I, are completely satisfied with my “voice” here. Still finding my way there, I think. My son has no problem with the jargon, but is suggesting I steer more toward the nature side of things, and less into the fishing. I’m shooting for both audiences. I think through angling is the right approach, bc we directly interact with nature (participating in the food chain). We are in position to understand things on a deeper level, and bring more interesting questions. So, if I have a goal, it’s to bridge the sciences with the angling, and inject a bit more nature into fishing. Thanks for your comment. And yes, please do share. Cheers, Paul

It follows the physical growth stages, but also the behavioral development that comes with it. To show these behaviors, I had to jump around between the stages, which I hoped would not be too confusing. But it's done, and I can actually go fishing now! :))) Cheers, Paul

    Hi, FAF. Awesome! Welcome aboard. My channel has four playlists: -Documentaries that give us a better understanding of the fishes themselves, currently focused on LMB; -Fundamentals that provides important background information, in depth. Info that comes up in our Video Fishing Journals (VFJ’s). -Fishing Tackle Know-How, where we take an in-depth look at the tools of the trade, taking the fish’s perspective into consideration; -Video Fishing Journals (VFJ’s), where we hit the water together and decipher the system, and the conditions & circumstances, in front of us. And to put our knowledge and decisions to the test. I think of my channel as an archive, able to be referred back to, in part bc stuff comes around again and again; Probably has something to do with a spherical world on a cyclical orbit. :) And, I've found that when I re-read a good article years later I glean new stuff from it, just bc I've got more experience to bring to it. Neat how that works. Be sure to share with friends. The more the merrier is the way YT works. Cheers, Paul

I'm predicting, as climate shifts, that PB's and state records will begin to fall in the coming years. Fisheries folks have already been documenting the northern shifts on species ranges, and growth rates. And... man do I hear you on the "honey-do's"! My "honey's" are my wife, son, home, and work. Here's to hoping I can give this TNF channel the time it desperately needs. Now that this doc is out the door, it's time I got some fishing in. But, first... I've got to finish up on the storage unit, and some field work that needs attention. Cheers, Paul.

No wasted seconds. Bass learning from each other, we’ve always said that if you catch a fish others will see it then avoid your lure, knowing what just happened to their friend. The struggle hormone releasing? I’m not sure.

    Hi, Anthony. I enjoyed making it. A lot of time burned though. I really want to get the third out, the finale on adult hunting and feeding behavior. But the time it takes is daunting. Or, more accurately, I know it'll be some time before I can complete it. I've wanted to get this last one out before I hit certain fishing related topics. That way I can refer people to the doc when I inevitably say, "...depends on conditions & circumstances". Work in progress. Just can't wait to get back to that progress.

    Hi NTF! I’ve watched quite a number of documentaries on bass’ life cycle, even as good as the old school video’s. Having said that I have to say, this video is extremely informative and I for one will be watching it repeatedly to digest all the information. Thank you for such a great “labour of love” production about a fish species I for one am a fan and passionate defender of. This production even should be used in Universities. Well done!!!

    Hi, Kevin. Thanks. Glad you liked it. Hope it helps in your fishing. Or, at very least, makes it that much more interesting. I do go barbless for certain techniques -soft plastics mostly- and have gone barbless with treble-hooked lures too, with success. However, the modern micro-barbed hooks out there now, and careful unhooking, can really minimize damage, and keep those crazy jumpers pinned. If you haven't already been around the channel, The Nature of Fishing (TNF) has four playlists: -Documentaries that give us a better understanding of the fishes themselves, currently focused on LMB; -Fundamentals that provides important background information, in depth. Info that comes up in our Video Fishing Journals (VFJ’s). -Fishing Tackle Know-How, where we take an in-depth look at the tools of the trade, taking the fish’s perspective into consideration; -Video Fishing Journals (VFJ’s), where we hit the water together and decipher the system, and the conditions & circumstances, in front of us. And to put our knowledge and decisions to the test. TNF is meant to serve as an archive that can be referred back to every year, like any good fishing journal. Things really do cycle around again every year, and each outing adds some new wrinkles. And, the more we learn, the more we can get out of re-visiting in-depth content. Be sure to share with friends for me. The more the merrier is the way YT works. All the best, Paul

    Hi, John. When describing how living creatures function, and the why behind it, I cannot ignore a perspective that is broadly considered, by scientists, to be the most significant scientific body of work in terms of understanding life. My focus here is in the science, and the fishing, not religion, or politics. Those are different subjects, even methods, altogether.

    Bass are always watching and learning. I had a largemouth in a 75 gallon fish tank in my bed room. I caught him when he was just 4 to 5 inches long, he was just little bit bigger than the beetle spin. Within two months I noticed the bass would mostly hang out in the front right corner of the tank where he could see into the living room. He would just float there watching and waiting for someone to go near the 10 gallon tank in the living room that had feeder fish in it. The moment someone was close to the feeder tank he would race from the top to bottom of the tank, sometimes breaking the top of the water and hitting the lid. When you fed him he would swallow just about all the feeders and hide beneath a plant in the middle of the tank for awhile before eventually returning to the corner to watch what was going on. I will always be amazed at how he knew his food was in the small tank in the living room.

    Hey, David. Great observation. I was hoping some aquarium folks would chime in here and there. You are watching a fish anticipate, a potential future event. Yes, fish are "smarter" than most people would suspect. And it challenges us to define what "smart" actually is. It does not need to involve "thinking" exactly (defined by some as requiring language). But, there are wheels turning in there, well aware of what's important. Thanks for sharing that. Paul
