Largemouth bass. These two words are enough to send a shiver of excitement up an angler’s spine. If you’ve ever tied into a big female, watching her leap clear of the water in an effort to throw your hook, you know why.
That first glimpse of a fantastic fish, the rush of excitement when your rod starts to take her weight, the pulse-pounding seconds when she runs for a stump as you try to muscle her back toward the boat--these are the moments that anglers live for!

Ha! I've known the excitement of hooking a great Largemouth. But in no way does it compare to the excitement of hooking a large tuna. Heck, I consider the Mahi Mahi (dolphin) as pound for pound the greatest fighting fish.

I imagine.
