If anyone is interested ?  It IS very simple....... But, the key is not to ever let the women fishermen know. It is a well Kept male secret.......

How can you tell?  I am very interested.......

Please tell,i'm interested too JOHN

With most fish, especially freshwater fish, it is nearly impossible. During spawning times male and female can be determined in some species, but generally you can't tell just by looking.

Well, I was hoping somebody was going to come up with a good answer!  So far, it is a well kept secret.  I had the same difficulty with alligators but later discovered they were a "little" more noticeable when they were getting ready to breed.  With male bass I just assume large bass are females because they seem to fill out with roe or eggs.  Surely, some of you more knowledgeable boys or girls know this answer.  Never have seen any DNR regulations to take up the subject.  Over the years I remember someone saying that male bass were more agrresive primarily during spawning season to protect the nest.  Uncle Tom
