What Is a Largemouth Bass in Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is known for the variety of drops, events, activities, forages, and other collectibles that comes along as the season inside the game changes. For instance, there are crops that could only be grown during Winter; and fish that could only be caught under a particular season.

Also, you have to wait for a year to be able to gather such items. But, don’t worry because there are still things in Stardew Valley that are available all year round.
One of these is the Largemouth Bass in Stardew Valley, a fish that could be fished for regardless of the season.
