This largemouth bass has a leather cord wrapped around its tail with a fish hook on its other end that can be inserted into the fish's mouth to form a satchel loop. The bass has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly a foot in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bass can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bass weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bass requires an action to pinch open its mouth and retrieve whatever item stored inside that the creature desires. The bass itself is odourless but items stored inside will pick up a slightly fishy smell over time and when items are removed, they are mysteriously damp.
If the bass is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bass is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bass must be put right before it can be used again. Creatures that must breathe air will immediately begin to suffocate in the bass as it is filled with water.
Placing a bass of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.
