Sure they were bass ? I'd be willing to bet those aren't from this year. If they are, they grew awfully fast.

They were bass threw a little worm in to catch one to be sure!! If they were last years they sure grow slow:-"

2 to 3 inch bass this time of year would be about right for fish hatched last year. As I recall the state wide average for yearling laremouth bass at the end of their first growing season was about 2 1/2 inches.

For those that are interested here is a link to a number of WDFW reports on warm water lake surveys around the state. In the body of each report you will find a table showing the average size of each species for each age class.

I have heard that largemouth can live up to 15 years. I once caught an 8-4 and sent a scale sample to the biologist and he said the bass was 14 + years at the time she was caught.
