Recognise the fish in detail
A wide mouth and strong dark side band define the largemouth bass study. Its fuller profile gives you another way to separate it from smallmouth bass. Both appear in the middle tier, although their individual starting values are different.
Use this close view to learn the outline before returning to the moving water. The picture identifies a species; it does not determine the outcome of a drop. That outcome depends on the original game’s alignment check, followed by the species value and any earned bonuses.
The species component of a catch
Largemouth Bass provides 285 base points for a successful catch. Its middle-tier membership concerns spawning, while this species value concerns scoring. The completed award can also include a distance-based accuracy addition and a bonus for continuing the catch sequence.
At the catch check, the closest fish must lie within ten lane units of the boat. Keep that gap in view as you prepare the action. An attractive species or large base value cannot compensate for a drop made beyond the permitted distance.
What the spawning group actually means
Six species share the middle tier, which is selected in 40% of spawn choices. A group probability describes repeated selections, not a quota to be filled during one six-drop voyage. The fish currently visible remain the useful guide for your next action.
The fish available during a short voyage need not mirror the long-run proportions. Make the next decision from the actual school on screen, because no particular species is reserved for your remaining drops.
