[6] The mounted fish turns its head, wiggles its tail on the trophy plaque, and sings cover songs, such as "Don't Worry, Be Happy" (1988) by Bobby McFerrin; and "Take Me to the River" (1974) by Al Green.

When not connected to an Alexa device, the fish sings an original song titled "Fishin' Time" when its red button is pushed.

Heckart later made a similar hack to the Cool Catfish and Frankie the Fish by the same company along with Loftus International's Tommy Trout as well as an orange Chinese Big Mouth Billy Bass 15th Anniversary Edition knockoff in mid-2022, all of them synced to an Amazon Alexa playing Nathan Evans's cover of The Wellerman.

This new version cut "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin for Luke Bryan's 2015 "Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day" in addition to Talking Heads' 1978 iteration of "Take Me to the River".

[11] In August 2024, a product called Trumpy Trout was marketed on Newsmax loosely resembling Big Mouth Billy Bass.

This is an animatronic trout head that resembles Donald Trump including his yellow hair, and blue suit jacket and red tie.

Instead of singing, when activated, Trumpy Trout repeated fish themed parody phrases of familiar Trump pastiches such as "I'm building a new pond and the bass will pay for it.".

Some of the device's notable appearances include The Simpsons, The Magicians, Family Guy, The Sopranos, King of the Hill, WALL-E, The Pirates!

Band of Misfits, The Office, Peppa Pig, What We Do in the Shadows, The Act of Killing, We Bare Bears, Solar Opposites, Big City Greens, King Tweety, Arthur, Zig & Sharko, and Barbie.
