Smallest of the Temperate Basses, the yellow bass is a spunky little scrapper that lives in the Mississippi River drainage basin. It's a fast-moving predator that likes to gulp down insects and small baitfishes while dashing about in large schools. Even more well-regarded as a food fish than the white bass, the yellow is abundant, delicious, and (sometimes) very easy to catch.
Other names: Yellow bass are also known as Yellow (Yeller) Bellies, Sandies, Sand Bass, Barfish, and Streakers.
