Passionate pleasures are derived from the enticing and ensnaring this voracious largemouth bass. Enticing a bass to accept a lure is pleasure in itself, but finding where such bass may be at any given time is the greatest challenge of all! In order to assist finicky fishermen to become more successful at catching bass, an in-depth scrutiny of highly regarded and well known literature on bass and bass angling was undertaken. The ensuing outline of bass behavior traits summarizes the noteworthy factors pertaining to this fish. Giving serious thought to and applying the factors outlined herein should lead to a better understanding and appreciation of its life cycle, its behavioral patterns, and how best to entice it to strike.

We bass fishermen today are fortunate that our predecessors in their wisdom saw fit to introduce this species of fish into waters far beyond its natural habitat. Largemouth bass are now to be found extensively in "warm" freshwaters around the world. However, because this bass is by nature exceptionally wary of the dangers affecting its existence, it is frequently frustrating to not be consistently successful in catching them.

The following discourse is compiled from selected appropriate extracts of various noted authorities and writers, on the behavior and habits of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides) and with particular application to waters of the northern United States.

This compilation of information is a merging of the experimentations, studies, findings, observations and opinions of leading aquatic and fishing experts over decades of their painstaking analyses on the behavior of largemouth bass.

It is hoped that a greater success rate in the catching of largemouth bass will be achieved by those anglers who may grasp the information contained herein.

The Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides) is the most adaptable of all the bass species. Given the choice, he will avoid bottom areas of lakes and other waters which are overly muddy or layered with silt. But the Largemouth Bass is also very tolerant, and if muddy water is unavoidable from time to time he will simply make do. The water may be clear, stained, murky, warm, cool, shallow, deep, cover-free, or infested with jungle-like swamp growth and chances are excellent that "Micropterus" and his progeny will get along just fine.

When in a feeding mood the bass will normally simply hide and wait until an unsuspecting quarry passes close by, or it may just glide closer to its prey and merely open its huge mouth and inhale strongly. This quickly draws the prey into its mouth with the sudden in-drawn current of water in a manner similar to that which we humans use a straw to guzzle liquids.
