Help, my fish is dying!?

Look, a couple of day ago i went fishing and got a small crappie and a small mouth bass, i kept them alive until i got home, i placed them on a 10 gal. fish tank and they got the food, proper water temperature and a liquid that says to put 10 drops of it into 10 gal. of water to kill any kind of germs and clorine that could harm the fish, they have not eaten sinse i cough them and now the crappie has both of his eyes white and his back is getting peeled, i do not know what is happening to him.
i already changed the water a couple of times to see if the drops were harming him but no.
i am one of those people that hate see animals dying,
Please help, what is happening?

It is illegal to keep wild fish with out permit. You are stressing out your fish by taking them from the wild, then putting them in a new, un-cycled tank that is far to small in the first place.

Please, please, before trying to keep fish, read up on the hobby and the things to do to properly start up an aquarium. You wouldn’t buy a puppy without knowing a few basics about how to feed, groom, train, and keep him — why do people expect to do this with fish?

It’s probably too late, but please return these fish to the wild ASAP.

Black Bass Fishing – How is Fishing for Black Bass Different?

The Largemouth Bass is one of the most popular freshwater gamefish in the U. S., and maybe the world. More fishing tackle and equipment is manufactured and sold for Largemouth Bass fishing than all other sportfish combined. U. S. Bass Tournaments are a multi-million dollar industry, with the number of participants and spectators rivaling NASCAR.

Names like Tom Mann, Jimmy Houston, Fred Arboghast and Buck Perry are as familiar to anglers as Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle are to baseball fans. Why has this fish overshadowed the other fine species available? To understand the attraction, you have to understand the fish itself.

The Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) is also known as the Black Bass, Oswego Bass, Green Bass, and Bucketmouth Bass. They are not a true bass, but the largest member of the panfish family, which includes crappie and sunfish. Native originally to the Eastern United States, it has become one of the most widely distributed gamefish in the world. This is due in part to the fact that it is an incredibly hardy and adaptable fish, and also because of its popularity with anglers.

Noted for explosive strikes, completely-airborne leaps, Wild-Weasel evasive maneuvers, incredible strength and stamina, and generally pugnacious attitude, this fish puts up an epic battle on the end of a line. There are two subspecies of Largemouth Bass in the U. S.: the Florida Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides floridanus), and the Northern Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides salmoides). The Florida Largemouth can attain a weight of 20+ pounds. The Northern subspecies seldom exceeds 10 pounds.Largemouth bass are a warm-water fish, thriving in temperatures from 65 degrees F., to 85 degrees F. They can tolerate water in excess of 90 degrees.

Largemouths prefer semi-clear, non-flowing water with plenty of aquatic vegetation and cover. They can be found in ponds, rivers, lakes, and even brackish estuaries. They are nest-builders and spawn when the water temperature reaches 60 degrees. Males prefer to build a nest over a hard bottom, along a shallow shoreline.

Largemouth Bass are solitary, ambush-type feeders, and seldom move far from their established territory unless forced out. They will defend their area viciously against all intruders.

Smaller Largemouth Bass may school for a time, but when they mature, they will stake out their own areas and become completely solitary, except for spawning. A Largemouth typically will hide somewhere near, or in dense cover, and remain there until suitable prey comes along, which can be anything from small fish and insects, to swimming mammals and ducks pretty much anything the Bass thinks it can get into its mouth! They are not particularly picky about their food, most of the time. When prey comes near enough, the Bass will shoot from cover and explosively inhale the hapless creature and swallow it whole.

If the food is not to their liking, they can spit it out just as quickly, as many a discouraged angler with a multi-hooked lure stuck in his lap can tell you. One of the trademarks of Largemouth Bass is that whatever they do, they do it decisively. If they bite, they do it viciously. If they don’t bite, they don’t bite at all.

There is nothing timid about this fish. They are not line-shy, and seldom spook easily. For Largemouth Bass fishing, the bigger and uglier your bait is; the better.

how would you fish these conditions?

fishing a lake from the land…no structure or weeds…muddy water…air temperature is 55-60 degrees…water if fairly shallow…5 ft or less throughout

my friend showed me a couple pics with some nice bass he took from the lake within the last week but wont tell me how he got em..

how should i fish this place to beat his 2.3 lber

I’ve fished a lot from the banks of lakes and ponds. To be honest, it is a complete crap-shoot as to where to fish. Most ponds do not have cover like a major lake does.

You can easily catch fish using ANY lure…crankbait (shallow to medium running), spinnerbait, topwater or any plastics. What is your confidence bait? Go with that.

Since the water is muddy, use a darker color, or something with heavy vibes to attract the fish. Remember, if you can only see 6″ in the water, a bass will see 11′, so don’t worry about them not seeing your bait.

Have fun…don’t make it a science because anything will work for you.
