What is a Largemouth Bass?
A largemouth bass, known scientifically as Micropterus salmoides, is a freshwater fish native to North America. It is considered a highly-prized sportfish, perhaps the most sought-after freshwater fish on the North American continent. The largemouth bass is known for as a voracious fighter and relatively mild meat. Though they are good to eat, most fishermen do not seek them out as a food source.
