Wikipedia Abstract

The Ozark bass (Ambloplites constellatus) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. It is native only to the White River area of Missouri and Arkansas. While it has been transplanted to other nearby streams, there is no evidence it has become established there. A. constellatus reaches a maximum recorded overall length of 28 cm (11 in) and a maximum average weight of 450 g (1.0 lb). The world record Ozark Bass was caught in May 2014 on Norfork Lake by Dan Biery, of Clinton, Arkansas. It weighed 1 lb 1 oz.
