Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Bass, especially largemouth bass, are easily the single most popular freshwater gamefish in the United States. Knowing Bass is a book about the science of bass fishing, with particular
emphasis on the bass itself: What bass can sense, how they use their senses to feed, how they relate to fishing lures, and ultimately, how they interact with anglers. Understanding why bass do what they do will greatly improve anyone’s chances of being a better and more successful
angler, no matter the angler’s present skill level.
Topics covered include bass biology; life history; the bass’ organs of vision, hearing, smell,
and taste, including the smells and flavors bass like—and don’t like; how smell and taste control feeding behavior; the best kinds of lures to trigger the attack response in certain situations; and even minimizing stress on caught bass that are to be released.
A distinguished scientist who knows how, when, and why bass pursue their prey, Dr. Jones
offers a wealth of valuable information on pursuing this popular gamefish to anglers of all
skill levels.

Too technical a book for most fisherman. Great job putting it together, but why not keep things simple?

This is a very scientific book, but if you want to catch more bass it is a must read. Dispells a lot of myths and opens your eyes to just how good an advisary a bass is. Read it twice to fully understand and learn more. Top book in my opinion to better your bass fishing ability.

This is the only book I have found that provides facts about bass backed by research. I am tired of fishermen's wild guesses and speculations. Dr. Jones as 20 years of experiments and reading to share. Unfortunately much of the knowledge is not likely to help me catch anything. But there is value in understanding and in knowing that much of common knowledge is dead wrong. It is sometimes tough reading but I enjoyed it.

If you are truly interested in bass physiology and what causes them to strike your lure,this is a must read.

This book's title sounds good. Who wouldn't want to know the results of controlled studies on how fish react to different techniques. Well that makes up about 10 pages of this book. In case you want to know: putting a flavor on a lure seems to work, scent not really, and bass will hold on to soft baits much longer than hard baits. Most of the book reads like a biology lesson charting out various organs in the fish and describing their functions. The problem is that there is no real connection made between this and fishing techniques. Does it help me to know how different sense organs attach to the Bass' brain? for me not really. If you are really interested in Bass physiology perhaps this would be worth reading, otherwise I would not recommend it.
