Fishing

Largemouth bass and smallmouth bass are the most popular game fish in North America.

It is also very popular in South Africa where the largemouth bass is often found in lakes, rivers, creeks, and dams.

When fishing, lures or live bait will work. Lures that mimic baitfish, worms, crayfish, frogs, and mice are all effective.
