In the "Crappie as the top predator" thread, there as a suggestion to add a few MALE large mouth bass to keep the crappie down if you are not planning on fishing yourself into Nirvana.
Interesting. I can catch all the Large Mouth Bass I can carry in some old non-maintained pools around here. Assuming that I am going to put off Nirvana, how would I tell a male vs. female Large Mouth Bass on the hook?

Bump.
IIRC the best time for sexing is just pre-spawn, when roe or milt can be produced with a squeeze. But there are some much better bass-sexers here than I'll ever be.

shorty that link is great never saw that thread. I have tried observation and the capillary method, for me the margin for error was so close we now just observe. There are plenty of "gray bass" not balck and white either way. If I was trying to select all femals and had a good pool to choice from I could do it by not sotcking the gray ones and going with what is obvious females from observation. We have praticed this when cleaning bass, fun game all should try the "name that sex".
