Framed Prints Each
print is framed using Conservation Acid Free & Lignin Free,
Alkaline pH buffered matboard & backing. 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. Back to

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.
