Catch and Release Largemouth Bass
The purpose of catching bass is one thing, but it’s how you treat them between the catch and the release that has the biggest impact on our fishing. Pretty much out of habit they catch bass and release them. That’s not a bad thing.
Catch-and-release fishing has played a major role in sustaining and enhancing countless fisheries. Catching and releasing these bass will also help local charter businesses and also help our local economy.
Even if you release a female largemouth bass the controlled studies have shown that most fish released after hook-and-line capture, survive. Removing the fishing hook and making sure that you dispose of your artificial baits, and used fishing line will insure the largemouth bass’s survival. This also allows other anglers their chance in catching their personal best bass.
Largemouth bass preferred baits
The larger bass typically come from using the live golden shiners as bait. When you use this type of bait are the closed bait to how they normally feed. If you intend on using live bait using a circle hook will also give the female bass a better survival rate rather than using a live bait hook. It is also good to stay away from using stainless steel hooks because they tend to rust in the largemouth bass’s stomach.

Growth Rate of Largemouth Bass
When it comes to how food is related to bass growth, there is more to it than just the amount of prey available. The size and location of the bait fish affect a bass’s ability to capture them. Also, the energy required to catch a bait fish, digestion rates, and the rate the fish burns the energy all influence bass growth rates.
Diet studies demonstrate that big bass eat large prey items, so availability of prey such as large-sized golden shiners, baby ducks, chubsuckers, shads, sunfish, and tilapia may have an effect on the size a bass can attain. Anglers that choose the correct live baits will have more success in achieving their goal. Trophy bass are predators that chase like to chase easy prey.
