How to catch Largemouth bass

 

Largemouth bass






Appearance: Largemouth bass are the best known and most popular game fish in North America. Differs from other largemouth bass in that the upper jaw protrudes beyond the posterior rim of the eye, and the first and second dorsal (hind) fins are separated by a distinct deep indentation.

State Record: 17.27 pounds Uncertified Record: 20th13 pounds

BigCatch  To qualify, your catch must exceed the listed weight OR the listed length (not necessarily both).

Habitat: The Florida largemouth bass is the state's freshwater fish. They are found statewide in lakes and rivers, often along vegetation or underwater structures, but formationfish are also found in the middle of lakes.

Behaviour: Smallmouth bass spawn in spring when males spread out and then protect eggs and fry. Juvenile fish eat zooplankton (microscopic animals that swim in the water column) and when they are about an inch in size they start eating other small fish.Adults eat a variety of fish, crustaceans, and larger insects.

Tips: Florida is a great destination to catch a trophy. A photo and measurements of your fish can be converted into realistic fiberglass mounts. FWC encourages you to document lunkfish over 8lbs and release to fight another day. (See TrophyCatch Florida.com) The best live bait is a golden shiner fished under a float or on a line. Lip gloss is usually applied across the lips or back with a large hook from 2/0 to 5/0. A medium to medium weight rod with a 14 to 20 pound test line is preferred, especially when fishing in areas with dense or overcast vegetation. Plastic worms are the most reliable lures for largemouth bass. A weedless worm planted in Texas or Carolina is especially effective in dense ground cover.A look at MyFWC.com/fishing (select Freshwater then Fishing Locations/Predictions) is a great way to learn the full range of techniques available to bass anglers as well as specific details on the various bass fisheries across the state. .
