If you want to be a success when catching largemouth bass, you need to be informed of a few interesting details about these wonderful fish. You can spot a largemouth bass by the dark jagged edged stripes on either side of the fish. These dark stripes are formed by a series spots along the fish’s body. Keep in mind that largemouth bass can also be plain black in color. Another distinct feature that makes largemouth bass easier to recognize is the fact that their upper jaw stretches past their eyes.

The largemouth bass’ diet evolves throughout its lifetime - when they are young, they feed on insects and plankton; as they grow older, they start to feed on smaller fish; and once they are fully grown, their diet consists of birds and small mammals such as rodents. They use their smell, hearing, and sight quite effectively to catch their prey. This is done in grass, brush, or drop offs. They mainly use their keen sight when hunting for food.

It is best to fish for largemouth bass in shallow water with temperatures between 64 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit. This is where their spawning beds are most likely to be located. The male largemouth bass creates small depressions for the female to lay her eggs. She can lay up to one million eggs in a spawning season. Once the eggs are laid the male largemouth bass stands guard to ward off potential predators.
