Bass Teeth

[Bob La Londe]

Ok, I know this is going to sound silly, but here goes. The last time I was
out on the river I spent some time exploring some back channels throwing
worms in front of bass.

One really nice looking two pounder I caught seemed to have exceptional
teeth.

I tried to hold him up for a picture a couple times, but every time he
wiggled I dropped him. In fact when I lipped him into the boat it was a
little uncomfortable. Almost like pressing my thumb against a fresh wire
brush.

They weren't so big as to cut up my thumb or anything, but they were big
enough that it was very uncomfortable when he wiggled.

It was a beaughtifully marked largemouth caught out of the mouth of a back
lake in a back lake.

Anybody ever notice a bass with larger than normal teeth?

I've noticed this on several different occasions. It struck me as strange
that they always seemed to come from very isolated areas. I always thought
of it as coincidence, but who knows. Maybe the same gene that causes the
larger teeth also causes the fish to seek out isolation away from busy
areas???

Hmmm..... If I follow your premise out to its logical conclusion its
probalby a good thing I didn't catch the really big guy that was back there
with him then huh?

Oh boy!! A question that I think I actually know!

I was told by a guy that I was fishing one time... to find out what the fish
have been eating over the past week or so was to feel their lips. If they
were rough... they had been eating craws and other crunchy critters.

Maybe, but this just seemed like bigger teeth.

Charles is on track. I have read it in Bassmaster, In-Fisherman, or other
bass mag that bass with sharper eat are those that feed on shad or other
fish for their regular diet. Where bass duller teeth either have a mixed
diet of crawfish and shad or feed exclusively off the bottom.

First thing that jumped into my head was a that he had caught a spot. Their
teeth are usually a little bigger than brother largemouth, and when he said
it was beautifully marked, well spots tend to have the brighter markings in
the lakes I have fished.

Next time check their tongue and see if they have a rough patch on it, if
they do then you got a spot. If not then I would be clueless.

I guess crawfish dull their teeth down, was that a reason they gave?

My thought, exactly, when I read the topic starter.

I didn't know bass had teeth, yet alone a tongue. Guess I'll have to stop
and look next time instead of just posing for the picture with my big catch.

maybe those bass have a good dentist in the family, or hang out with musky
friends, either way if he bit you I'd bite him back : )

My two year old son and I were fishing in the local neighborhood retention
pond last evening. He caught an 8" bass that had some exceptional teeth. I
was surprised because these teeth were bigger than the teeth on larger fish
I have caught.

Maybe the teeth get worn down from eating craws and such, and teh fish in our
isolated area is eating mostly minnows?
