I agree Johnnie! The one giving all the orders and wining about everything that could determine the sex of the fish.

Actually I don't think anyone but a marine biologist can tell the difference. I've even heard that bass have both sex organs until they mature and one or the other, depending on the demand by nature, takes over. Makes sense to me. I do know that when I'm fishing the small buck bass are much more plentiful than the big ole sows.There's still a lot to be learned about bass, and this site will eventually come up with somne good answers.
