The Black Bass is a medium-sized fish with a sleek, elongated body typical of freshwater bass, featuring a dark, almost black dorsal side that fades to a lighter shade on the belly. Its scales are highly detailed, reflecting light to mimic the wet, slippery surface of a freshly caught fish. The fins are slightly tattered, suggesting it was caught after a struggle, and the eyes are glossy, giving it a lifelike appearance despite being an in-game item.
