Bass (pronounced /ˈbæs/) is a name shared by many different species of popular gamefish. The term encompasses both freshwater and marine species. All belong to the large order Perciformes, or perch-like fishes, and in fact the word bass comes from Middle English bars, meaning "perch."[1]American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. http://www.bartleby.com/61/51/B0105100.html.
