I have notmheard of anyone breeding them in a tank but it couldnt be that diificult almost like a pbass....u just need a pair of mature bass
 
I doubt you will be able to breed them in a tank.. theyre wild fish and lay down beds to spawn... and theyre seasonal spawners.
 
i havnt heard of anyone breeding LMB or any Bass.. besides cichla in the home aquaria.. i would bet its possible with a large enough tank but not to many have 1k+ tanks.. but people have bred them in ponds i mean thats obvious.

its easy, or i just got lucky. a few years ago my friends and i caught a pair we saw doin the dance on the shore of a nearby lake and put them in our ornamental pond, maybe 200 gallons. we fed the hell out of em with worms, mice, bluegill, pretty much anything, and after about a month we had a school of thousands of babies. we took the parents out and let them go in my friends 3/4 acre pond and let the babies grow to a couple inches. it only took about 6 weeks but only maybe 500 were left. then we put them all in the big pond. now there's tons of big bass in there and we fish it all summer long.

why do you want you breed them?
 
That doesn't constitute as you breeding them. You just took a breeding pair from their natural habitat, put them in a pool, then threw them into a little lake.

I agree. It would probably take some large temp changes.....
