The smallmouth bass is famous for fighting hard. Many anglers that fish for bass claim that the smallmouth puts up a better fight than its cousin the largemouth.
Smallmouth bass have a reputation for jumping and leaping out of the water during the fight.
The smallmouth's diet consist of crayfish, insects, minnows and other aquatic creatures. The crayfish is by far the smallmouth's favorite dish. The best time to catch smallmouth is in the early morning and late evening when they feed. Plastic grubs and worms, crankbaits and spinnerbaits are great smallmouth lures.
