  1. Bass change colors do to water conditions. Extremely murky water they turn really light. Clear water they turn dark. Alvie filled water I’ve seen them pretty close to gold. Google Clear Lake Cali. Home of the biggest 5 ever weighed. A natural lake. Very shallow. The Algiers bloom is so bad I’ve seen ducks walking on top of it. My favorite water.
