Shan (and others): I couldn't find much! I searched for largemouth bass and sex reversal, and found one paper (following). Unfortunately, I couldn't get an electronic version of the paper to share. In fact, even the abstract was not available online.

PORTER, M.D. Effects of methyltestosterone on largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides.
Journal of Applied Aquaculture, Vol.6(4), pp. 39-46; 1996

There were a couple more papers on sex reversal that came up for striped bass and hybrid striped bass. I'll post those citations below, in case anyone is interested.

GOMELSKY, B.; CHERFAS, N.B.; GISSIS, A.; HULATA, G. Hormonal sex inversion in striped bass and white bass x striped bass hybrids. North American Journal of Aquaculture
Vol. 61(3), pp. 199-205; 1999

SCHUTZ, J.R.; HARRELL, R.M. Use of sex reversal in striped bass to create an all-male population. North American Journal of Aquaculture, Vol. 61(2), pp. 97-106; 1999

So, the bottom line is that I was not much help. I don't have any personal experience to relay.
