Who here thinks largemouth are over rated as a sport fish. If you want to do some real bass fishing go for smallmouth much better fighters pound for pound. And if you want to do some real fishing go try to land some spring steel, Personally my favorite fish to catch.

only because I cant catch them here
. Must be something there as they certainly have there following over the pond. Its Bass Bass Bass for a lot of anglers
Definitely don't agree. How dare you, the largemouth bass is THE most popular gamefish in the United States. You're just not giving them enough credit.Maybe if he caught one he'd like them better...

i don't think any sort of fishing is over rated really, i think it all depends on the angler and what he's planning on catching.
Large mouth are just to easy to catch. And they give up way to easily. Once summer hits you might as well be fishing for logs.
I can easily land a 5lb lmb on 4lb. mono with a 6ft. rod. But put an 8lb. steelie on a 8lb. leader with a 10ft. rod and I'll be lucky if I land half the fish I hook into.

Largemouth can be very lethargic in warmer months. Try lightening your drag and give them some play. If 4lb is so easy head down to 2lbs. Or use your fly rod!! Get a nice 3wt and then you'll have some fun!!!!
And also, the longer the rod You use, the harder the fish can pull against You.
