Largemouth Bass

[Sam]

A friend of mine is going to be taking me freshwater fishing soon. Can anyone recommend any lures for large-mouth bass? I don't want to look like a total idiot! :wink:

Live bait works for us. But if it has to be artificial, I would go with a dark rubber worm rigged up with a lead head directly above the hook. No swivel.



Caught on a fly rod. Pa largemouth

Rapella minnows work well too.

As an old salt who owned a tackle shop told me:

All these things are to catch the fisherman, not the fish.



Plenty will disagree, but it's true that it's more the method and location.

A few good worms and a couple swimmers should do it.

A top water and a diver should work.



Or, you could ask your friend to recommend a few of his favorites...

That is a nice looking bass, chomper. Thanks for the info guys.

That is a great fish you caught, Chomp. Why do you block out your face? It would be great if we could see it!

thanks for the compliment. Thats not my face. It is my buddies. We are both, however, camera shy.
