Black Bass Behavior Nature Bulletin No. 338-A March 29, 1969 Forest Preserve District of Cook County George W. Dunne, President Roland F. Eisenbeis, Supt. of Conservation

BLACK BASS BEHAVIOR There are some peculiar expressions in our American Slang. We admire "a smart cookie" but "a poor fish" is held in contempt, as if fishes were the dumbest creatures on earth. They may seem dumb, and some kinds probably are, but -- to expert fishermen and scientists who study the behavior of fish -- the black basses, for instance, appear to be as alert and intelligent as many of the so-called higher animals. In Illinois, where there are three species of them, they are the Number One fish for most anglers. The Largemouth black bass thrives in lakes and the more sluggish streams throughout the state. The smallmouth bass and the spotted bass prefer faster moving streams, the former being restricted to the northern half of Illinois and the latter to the southern part.
