Spanish for large mouth bass etc - 03/29/08 03:36 PM
Although I speak spanish fairly well I do not know the word they use for large mouth bass. I was trying to explain what kind of fish I had in my pond to some of the Mexican guys that do odd jobs around my property and was at a loss. I know that bagre=catfish, and mojarra=generic panfish of almost any kind(or so it seems to me,apparently misused in the same way we use "perch" in english). I found perca and pez sol de orejas azules as bluegill translations.After googling for LMB translations I came up with el huro, and la lobina negra. But knowing spanish there is quite likely a mexican name for LMB not listed in most dictionaries. It seems there has to be a name given the mexican LMB fishing tourism that is so well known.
