Largemouth Bass
Under the water where the lake is shallow,
A ten pound largemouth bass is there
Watching over the 10,000 eggs that a female bass laid this spring.
The male bass is waiting for anything
That comes within six feet away from the nest
To ATTACK.
The female bass is hunting for food
Like insects, shrimp, bluegill frogs
Crawfish, birds, lizards, and more.
The female’s beautiful colors shimmer,
Silver strips along her back
And a green body that attracts her prey.
It is 56 degrees in the water,
Just the right temperature for a bass.
Snap!
Looks like the female got a shrimp for dinner!
