Bass Fishing

Around the world there are hundreds of different fish. Some of these we eat, and some of these are game fish. But my favorite are the Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, both of them are fun to catch and they taste great. Bass are truly freshwaters best fish.

The Largemouth Bass is named for its wide mouth. The jaw of this fish extends to below the eye. Largemouth grow very big. The record is 22 pounds, 4 ounces. Largemouths are voracious feeders, eating insects, crayfish, smaller fish, and other small creatures. They are often found in freshwater lakes and ponds, and will grow to a large size in deep water with plenty of food. The smallmouth bass is obviously named for its small mouth. They also grow very big. The record is only 15 pounds and 11 ounces but it is still a big fish. They eat the same things that largemouth’s eat. And they are also found in freshwater ponds and lakes.

The largemouth and smallmouth bass have the same characteristics of what they eat and where they live. But I would probably prefer to catch a smallmouth over a large mouth because they taste great and put up one great fight.
