DO NOT FEED THE FISH CORN!!! It will kill them if you fish with corn in my area you will be fined it kills fish they can't digest it. Once those fish get too large is there a zoo or something that would take them for you???

I know. Great job on that article, BTW. It's going to be added to Articles very soonfballguy said:
I wish I could have written it myself, but am just too darned busy right now!!! I'm just going to have to settle with writing a General Fish Nutrition and Feeding article 
: whenever I get around to it.i could understand one of the bluegill/sunfish in a tank, in fact, that's what i wanted, but i got an oscar instead... but you gotta think about the bass... they'll get pretty big, and they're fast too.... just imagine if you startle him and he darts across the tank, and only has a couple of feet to maneuver himself... don't understand where i'm getting at? how about a bug on a windshield... i'm not saying the bass is gonna splat and smear his guts all over the side of the "tub"... but if he hit hard enough and direct enough, he could cause damage to himself, possibly killing him.. just my 2 cents... oh, and about the corn... well, nevermind, i won't go into the digestion of it, (or lack thereof) and the remnants of when humans eat corn... nuff said....

I'm sure it depends on the state you're in, but as I understand it there's no law preventing you from keeping/raising these fish in captivity. The law is against taking young game fish (under legal keeper weight) and placing them in captivity without the proper permit, which could possibly be issued to an educator.
I know it's an interesting topic, but it seems there's more interest in talking about the legality and morality of keeping these fish than answering the poster's question.
On that note, I have read a number of posts from others who are keeping lake fish and feed them worms & crickets. I have found that freeze dried bloodworms works for brim in a pinch as well.
Keep in mind that worms keep very well in the fridge and you can cut them in half if the fish doesn't need a whole worm. Both sides will live until needed.
