Bass, especially largemouth bass, are easily the single most popular freshwater gamefish in the United States. Knowing Bass is a book about the science of bass fishing, with particular

angler, no matter the angler’s present skill level.

Topics covered include bass biology; life history; the bass’ organs of vision, hearing, smell,
and taste, including the smells and flavors bass like—and don’t like; how smell and taste control feeding behavior; the best kinds of lures to trigger the attack response in certain situations; and even minimizing stress on caught bass that are to be released.
