Ever wonder why high-level fishing tournaments always seem to revolve around bass? 🎣 Largemouth and smallmouth bass are the sport fish of North America, where modern tournament fishing began. The whole system—from lures to formats—was built around bass, and the legacy stuck worldwide. Bass are also the perfect target: they’re aggressive but not unbeatable, react to tons of different lures, and have unique behavior patterns depending on season. That makes competitions unpredictable and exciting—just like basketball wouldn’t be the same without the NBA, bass fishing wouldn’t be the same without B.A.S.S. Pretty smart choice when you think about it. #fishing #bassfishing #fishingtournament #sportfishing
