BacklashFish Facts:
Did you know a trout can swim at speeds over 30 MPH ?
Similar to a Brown Trout in its fighting strategy, the Brook Trout will prefer to stay under the water and tug it out rather than bust the surface to try and throw the hook.
Strength: Large trout are known to break leaders two times their body weight (for a human that's a piece of mono 350 lbs).
Imported to North America and transplanted all over Canada by the early settlers, this elusive trout is long lived compared to the Rainbow and anglers consider Browns more difficult to catch as well.
Male bass seldom get bigger than Four pounds
A bass can swim 12 to 18 mph — in bursts of speed.
Bass usually require at least 12 hours to digest their food under the best conditions. Example, normally, when the water temps range from 70-80 degrees, bass digest the food in their stomach in about 18 hours. But in winter, the same bass would take four days or longer to digest their food.
The largemouth bass is still America’s number one sport fish; the smallmouth rates as the gamest fish that swims in freshwater; the crappie is America’s favorite panfish; walleye are becoming one of the most important game fish in northern waters; and finally, catfish are second only to bass in overall popularity.
