There are 44 million Americans fishing today, Largemouth bass the
largest species of the freshwater sunfish family are America 's most
popular freshwater game fish.

The phrase "largest species of the freshwater sunfish family" is kind of
a weasel -- technically true, but misleading. Trout get much larger than
bass.

The main reason for its popularity is
that Largemouth Bass fishing is a thrill?The fish itself has
personality? It's aggressive, it's Intense? It's simply the most Wanted
species of Freshwater Fish when it comes to Sport Fishing.

Speak for yourself. I'll take a 30 pound trout over a 30 pound
largemouth bass any day, although I'd certainly get more fame and
fortune with the world record bass. :-)
