largemouthtrout Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I was fishing in the Grand tonight caught a few decent smallmouths and a rock bass .. and then theres the one big that got off the hook after jumping like a marlin ( most likely a bass ) . Anyways , it was getting darker when i caught this other fish , so i didn,t get the greatest look . first i thought it was a smallmouth , untill i got it out of the water .Then i thought it was a big rock bass , but it didn,t look right . after looking at some pics online , the closest thing i can compare it to is a white bass . ( like i said though .. it was getting dark ) looked like stripes down the length of the body , but the stripes seemed more like rows of dots . I never caught a white bass before ( if thats what it was ) . Anyone heard of white bass in the Grand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I have caught white bass in the lower grand, so it is possible. Without a picture it is hard to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sounds about right for a White Bass, or Silver Bass.I caught one here on Lac St. Louis a few weeks ago.Here in Quebec we have to release them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.brock Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 type "gizzard shad" into Google Images and see if that looks like what you caught, I've caught them below Dunnville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsukh Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Possibly white bass or white perch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sounds like a white bass. The Grand gets a decent run of them below Dunnville every May. They're a blast with an ultralight and some tiny spinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky or Specks Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 If you were fishing in the KW area Im guessing black crappie they are around here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the stripers Paul. You cannot keep a striped bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Could have been a crappie depending on what stretch you were fishing. Used to get the odd one in the brantford stretch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The JAY Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Mooneyes are all over the Grand. Very silver, and I have seen the bigger ones have 'stripes'. Never seen one launch itself though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
