Many of my Trout Unlimited friends fish for all types of fish besides trout, ranging from mackerel and mahi mahi in the ocean to crappie and carp in fresh water.
Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, redeye bass and many other fish that share the name “bass” are members of the sunfish family that includes bream and crappie — but none of these sunfish are true bass. The true basses of North America are the temperate basses, with the scientific name Moronidae.
