Bass Fishing (final informative) I have been fishing my whole life, especially bass fish. I normally try to catch largemouth bass, which are very common where I am from. I was on my high school’s bass fishing team and we actually did pretty well for the most part, especially coming from such a small school. Largemouth bass are our prime target during these fishing tournaments. A largemouth bass is a white/green fish usually ranging from 1 pound to 6, they can also get up to 10 pounds as well. You can bass fish for fun or you can do it competitively such as tournaments. Tournaments usually go like every other tournament, you have two people and an adult captain that basically drives the boat and puts people in the best spots to catch bass. Every tournament usually starts at around 7 in the morning and goes through to 3 in the afternoon. After the time limit is reached, the boats then unload and get pulled up in the parking lot with the fish in them. The teams, then one by one go up to the weigh station and get a bag to put the

“Largemouth bass grow 4 to 6 inches during their first year, 8 to 12 inches in to years, 16 inches in three years” According to so and so largemouth can grow up to 4 to 6 inches (Jennings). They are green with dark spots that look like black stripes along both sides. The belly is a light greenish color, sometimes it could be white.

What interesting about these professional charters is that they guide and take you across to some excellent water areas, where the best fishes gather, and making way for a grand catch opportunity. Most charters guarantee that you get a catch or no money, so there is going to be no disappointment when you think you didn't get what you want. They also offer the chance to catch a variety of fish such as halibut, Red Snapper, Salmon, Ling Cod, Rock fish and much more. All equipments and gears necessary for your favorite activity are also available with the charter.
If you are fishing with a partner or fishing alone you can only catch a five fish limit. Every fish has to be over thirteen inches long so it can be legal for a tournament. Every lake has a different length to score a bass. For example, at Belton Lake a bass has to be over fourteen inches long to be legal, which I disagree on because some people catch twelve to thirteen and a half inches and that means we have to throw them back into the water because it is not fourteen inches.
One good way to understand how much bass fishing has changed over the years is to look at all of the gear and equipment and

As Christmas time approaches this year, I turn my thoughts to the many traditions that my family holds. Though most of the family tradition are convention, my family places a unique twist on the idea of family time.

Unusual as it may seem, this tradition has become one of my most anticipated family activities each year.
Now that you know some background information on bass, let's talk about what bait to use when you are targeting them. According to Jason Sealock there are four main types of baits that everybody uses when they fish for bass (np). They are, Topwater lures, soft plastics, bait fish imitations, and live bait. Topwater lures would include artificial frogs, spooks, and whopper ploppers. All three of those baits float on the top of the water and when bass look up at them, they basically think “well, there’s lunch.” Soft plastics would include things like artificial crawfish, worms, and minnows. These baits are usually most effective when you let them sink to the bottom and then give them a few jerks to get those bass’s attention and get them to bite
Fishing is an activity I have enjoyed doing ever since I was a little kid. In fact, one of my first fishing voyages was with my grandpa when I was about eight years old. He was an avid fisherman who went fishing almost every day and knew everything there was to know about fishing. Grandpa got me hooked on fishing. After Grandpa died, my dad picked up where Grandpa left off. We had a pontoon, and Dad took my brothers and me fishing whenever we had the chance. To this day, I still love fishing just as much as I had on my first fishing trip with my grandpa. Many people enjoy hobbies that are relaxing and peaceful, and others prefer exhilarating activities that never have a dull moment. I enjoy fishing because it has some of both.
