How long can you keep a largemouth bass out of water after catching it?

Largemouth bass, like all fish, need water to survive. Once they are out of the water, they will quickly suffocate. The length of time that a bass can survive out of the water depends on a few factors, including the size of the fish, the water temperature, and the humidity.

In general, a largemouth bass can only survive out of the water for a few minutes. However, if the fish is small, the water is cold, and the humidity is high, it may be able to survive for up to an hour.

It is important to note that even if a bass does survive being out of the water, it will likely be stressed and may not be able to survive if returned to the water. Therefore, it is best to release bass as soon as possible after catching them.
