Importance of Bass to Fishing
There is no other game fish of so much importance as the black bass. The wide distribution of this fish and the fact that it is at home in the thickly settled part of the United States, makes it possible for almost everybody to be a bass fisherman if he likes, and the number of fishermen who seek this fine fish is greater perhaps than the number of devotees of all other kinds of fresh water fishing combined. In the northern half of the Mississippi valley almost every angler is a bass fisherman. The fact that so many means may be employed in capturing this fish is also very much in its favor. The small boy and the grown still-fisher get their share, the live bait fisherman and the artificial bait-caster find this fish their most worthy quarry and the fly-caster also finds that these fish take the fly well and afford a sport unrivaled in its line.
No other fish of its size can or will put up such a fight for its liberty when hooked as the black bass and this is a claim that few will dispute. And after capture too it does not take a back seat for it is a fine food fish.
