Smallmouth Bass guide

Smallmouth Bass is a beginner-friendly Common fish found at Terrapin Island. You need Worm bait, Windy weather, and either Spring or Summer. The wiki calls it a popular freshwater fish known for its fighting spirit, which is about as much character as a Common catch gets.

It is light: the average is 1.3 kg and the maximum is 3.4 kg, which ranks 568 of 663 fish. The price per kg is a respectable C$42, but small weights keep the total down: the average sale is C$54.6, 649 of 742 documented fish by average value. Base XP is 90.

Gudgeon is the other Common fish found in the same zone, and Terrapin Island sells two rods, Magnet Rod and Wildflower Rod. That is useful for a new player, because the same trip can deliver a catch and a purchase target.

Verdict: a low-value fish that is still worth landing early. The XP is higher than the coin value would suggest, so it helps with progression more than it helps your wallet. Wait for windy conditions, keep Worm handy, and do not spend long on it once you have better options.
