LARGEMOUTH BASS- One of the most sought after gamefish. Moody and unpredictable, it hits hard and fights hard. The Largemouth is a test of skill for the most experienced angler.
The Largemouth likes the shallows at the mouth of a stream, under a stump or amongst lily pads. They are easily frightened, so you must be extremely quiet when fishing for them. You can get them fly casting, plug casting, and spinning. They go for spoons, popping plugs and spinrers. The average size is from 2 to 3 pounds.
This famous battler is dark green on the back, lighter green on the sides. It has dark horizontal stripes on the sides. These stripes often disappear on the adult fish. He is distinguished from the Smalimouth by the larger mouth, which when closed extends beyond the eye.
