Abstract
As part of a migration study 1,616 Florida largemouth bass were tagged in six large connected lakes in central Florida. Three-hundred-seventy (22.9 percent) were reported recaptured by hook and line fishing. Some movement occurred between the lakes but no pattern of migration was discernible. Average interval between release and recapture was 14.7 weeks. More than 84 percent of those recaptured had not moved more than 5 miles from the point of release. Maximum distance traveled was 12.5 miles. Attempts to obtain growth-rate data on tagged fish failed. Mortality from handling was considered negligible. No significant correlation was found between total length and chances for recapture.
