Bass Fish

How could I start a fishing blog without including the most common fish in the world? According to Wikipedia (at the time of this writing) There are three types of bass: Black basses, Temperate basses, and Asian basses. If you live in the United States you are most likely familiar with the black basses - largemouth & smallmouth  bass fit the category and are the most popular gamefish in North America.

Just look at these beauties:

    


That is the largemouth bass (left) and the smallmouth bass (right). At 29.5 in [75 cm] and a weight of 25 pounds 1 ounce [11.4 kg] the largemouth lives 16 years on average while the smallmouth measures in at 27 inches [68.5 cm] and weighs up to 12 [5 kg] pounds. As pictured in the images above, their scales glisten brightly in the sun with the largemouth having a more dark green coloration to it while the smallmouth is slightly faded.

What this blog is going to be dedicated to.

I have recently gotten into fishing pretty big thanks to a camping trip I took earlier this year (and partly due to Ultimate Angler) when I caught some spectacular fish and picked up a new rod. Mainly this is going to be about different types of fish and their identifying features, where they migrate, what they like to eat and which seasons they're out the most. Pretty much a generic fishing blog that I'm hoping will lead to more of my own discoveries and get shared with other fishing enthusiasts.

Let's get our lines set, baits hooked, and head out into the Great Big World of Fishing!
