Smallmouth bass are more common in cooler, faster-moving waters like streams and rivers. Both are members of the sunfish family. Salmoides is a great game fish. That means people fish for him because he is good eating and puts up a good fight. Anglers, or people who fish, use live bait like worms to fish for Salmoides.
Some people use artificial lures.
These lures are made to look and act the way natural prey would. A frog lure, for instance, could be fished in a way so that Salmoides would think it's a real frog. The angler could land the frog lure on a rock, then put it into the water. Another angler might make a minnow lure look wounded by retrieving it in a jerking motion. The proper way to take a largemouth bass from the water, after it's been hooked, is to grab the lower lip of it's jaw.
