The white bass or sand bass (Morone chrysops) is a freshwater fish of the temperate bass family Moronidae. It is the state fish of Oklahoma. They are unrelated to the black basses, which are members of the sunfish family.
White bass are found in lakes throughout the United States. The species is somewhat similar in appearance to the white perch, though larger. Its back is dark, with white sides and belly, and with narrow darkish stripes running lengthwise on the sides. The fish ranges from 25 to 38 cm (10 to 15 inches) in length, and usually weighs from 0.5 to 2 kg (1 to 4 pounds), though larger ones are sometimes taken. Conventional panfish tackle or fly fishing tackle is used in angling the white bass. The fish tend to move in schools and, when not frightened, they will bite readily at live bait such as worms and minnows. They will also take many other live or artificial baits.

Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.
