  Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)
The largemouth bass is the largest member of the Sunfish family. The body shape is only slightly
longer than deep, and thicker than the other Sunfish. Largemouth's tend to get deeper than smallmouth's. The body is usually a green color with a wide dark horizontal stripe extending the length of the body. To distinguish a largemouth from a smallmouth look at the mouth; a largemouth’s jaw extends past the eye.
Common Names: largemouth bass, largemouth, black bass, bucket mouths

Tips on Fishing for Largemouth Bass
Like the smallmouth, the largemouth bass is a much sought after sport fish more often sought after for its fight than for its fillets. Most of the fish are caught during the summer months with July being most productive.When fish are in an aggressive mood, fishing with fast moving baits or top water baits offers the most excitement. During tough fishing periods switching to more subtle techniques can produce a couple of fish on an otherwise fishless day. Using plastic worms and fishing slowly through dense cover can be a very effective method. Live bait fished with a bobber is also another tactic that should not be overlooked.
Age and Growth Ranges of the Largemouth Bass
The growth of largemouth bass greatly varies within their range. The rate of growth is significantly higher in the more southern regions. In Ontario it typically takes 4-6 years to reach 30 cm (12”). The maximum age seems to be between 13-15 years, reaching lengths of 55 cm (22 inches) and reaching weights of around 5 lbs. Any largemouth over five pounds should be considered a trophy.
