The Largemouth Bass is a fish that can be caught in the mountain lake during all seasons. It comprises approximately 19% to 20% of all catches there during Spring and Fall, but drops to around 15% during Summer and Winter. It is most likely to be caught when casting farther from shore.[1] It can also be caught on the Wilderness Farm. It can also be gifted by a pet cat with max friendship. It may be randomly found in Garbage Cans, or at the Traveling Cart for
300–1,000g. Linus may randomly send a Largemouth Bass in the mail as a gift.
Largemouth Bass can be caught regardless of time of day using Magic Bait.
