Bass FishingThere are over 1,000 fish species swimming in North American waters, and bass are the #1 most sought after People who cant understand the appeal have simply never been bass fishing. Theyd be hard pressed to tell a bass bite from grass on the end of their rod, too. If you want a passive, fall asleep waiting hours for a bite snoozefest, then go fish in your grandmas koi pond. Bass are wild. Unpredictable. Territorial. They keep you on your toes.
