Some fishermen consider smallmouth bass the sportiest fish that swims in fresh water: they fight hard and readily hit a variety of artificial and live baits. Smallmouth bass have been known to hit a bait hard enough to cause anglers to drop their rods and reels, and some anglers swear they have the fish of a lifetime on the end of their lines, only to bring it boatside and see a 2-lb. smallmouth.
Different types of bass include white, striped, spotted, largemouth and smallmouth. According to AA fishing, smallmouth and largemouth bass are the most sought-after of all game fish by anglers.
