Meet the official state fish of Texas and the gem of central Texas: the Guadalupe Bass! 🐟 Native only to the clear, groundwater-influenced streams of the Texas Hill Country, this spunky, smaller bass is an amazing catch and will absolutely tear into your light tackle! Native fish are deeply tied to place, and experiencing all the unique places and native fishes America has to offer is a truly inspiring aspiration. We hope you come along with us on our week-by-week tour of fish big and small, common and rare, beautiful and downright strange on "Fish of the Week" (new episodes every week on our FWS website or wherever you get your podcasts).🎣 Bald cypress trees frame a Texas Hill Country headwater stream where Guadalupe Bass live. 📷 Chris Johnson #TexasBassFishing #Bass #AllTheFish
