Life of a Largemouth Bass
Life of a Largemouth Bass
By Chris Bowser
The Largemouth Bass is American's all-out favorite game fish!
It is probably the most
glamorous species in the fresh waters of the world today. The largemouth is fundamentally a lake fish, and that is where it
colonizes best. It is not a scavenger, it is strictly predaceous!
It is not fussy about food.
"If it
moves, eat it!" is a kind of motto of the species.
We bass fishermen today are fortunate that our predecessors in their
wisdom saw fit to introduce this species of fish into waters far beyond its natural habitat.
Largemouth bass are now to be found extensively in "warm" freshwaters around the world.
However, because this bass is by nature exceptionally wary of the dangers affecting its existence,
it is frequently
frustrating to not be consistently successful in catching them.
The Largemouth Bass is the basic freshwater game
fish. He is voracious as a predator but extremely wary of danger and spends only a very small portion of each day actually
feeding.
The largemouth bass are extremely curious and this results in a good many getting hooked early in life. But they
soon become wary (maybe "educated" is a better word) and often this leads anglers to believe a lake is "fished out"
or does not contain many bass.
A largemouth bass soon learns that lures, especially those it sees most often, can get it into trouble.
The quality of fish
and fishing can be readily diminished by too much angling pressure (at least by too much removal of the
larger breeding-size bass).

Hit and Run for Bass I needed a bass lure that would be suitable for just about any bank fishing situation and one that can be carried in my pocket if need be. Staying On Top of Topwater Bass Fishing If one is seeking an ultimate bass angling experience, topwater fishing is exactly what should be sought to disrupt calm and mundane fishing waters. |
