animals, if you are still on the site, welcome aboard, and hopefully the few curse words will be forgotten. as far as where you can put bass, unfortnately, most of us don't have the money to build a big aquarium like you may see at bass pro shops!! i would talk to some folks around your area, and maybe if you find someone with a pond or lake, you could dress appropriately, knock on their door, and introduce yourself and maybe you could offer an exchange of fishing for mowing/working around the property. i have done that before and most of the time it works. one time, a buddy of mine and i in iowa asked a guy if we could fish his pond in exchange for work around his farm. he had us move a few dead trees and then he let us fish. we would pick up any trash that anyone left. he also said he let us fish because we simply asked. so many people would just walk in/sneak on his pond, and he would kick them off the pond. hope this helps. again, welcome to the site. mark
