The N. Lion Bass

(Micropterus Nittany)

The Nittany Lion Bass (Micropterus Nittany) is a rare sub-species of Largemouth Bass. While found worldwide, it is native to the lakes and rivers surrounding the State College, PA area. It is beautifully colored, with scaled hues of navy blue and white. It grows big and mean on a steady diet of Wolverines, Spartans, and Buckeyes. The Nittany Lion Bass is highly sought after by anglers nationwide and are noted for the aggressiveness of their ‘fight’. Anglers often holler and yell out loud “WHEE AARREE!” when they hook into one.
