    <p>Hi, I am Captain Steve Chaconas with National Bass Guide Service. For about the last 15 years I have been taking people out fishing on the Potomac River, teaching them how to fish for a Largemouth Bass starting with some of the basic fundamentals and thats what were going to be teaching you today, how to cast, how to decide what lures to use, how to tie knots and a lot of other things that help you get more enjoyment out of fishing. This is a Largemouth Bass, typical caught in just about every state across the country, that what makes them so popular, they are very aggressive fish. See they have a big mouth too so they can suck in a lot of lures and they will eat anything really that swims. So, we use a lot of different lures that will be shown a little bit later on, how to catch these fish, they will eat things off the surface, they will eat worms off the bottom, they also have a lateral line if you could see this line it kind of runs down the side of the fish here and thats key to these fishes survival because theyll pick up vibrations in the water and thats how they find their prey a lot of times in deeper water or in muddier water.</p><p>They also have gills, those are the red things that we see underneath their gill flap here, thats basically their lung system, thats how they breathe and we dont want to leave them out of the water too long, also when handling the fish, you want to make sure your hands are wet, because they have a little slime coating on them, that slime coating protects them its kind of like an outer skin. If your hands are wet, the slime won't stick to your hands and it will stay on the fish, but a real pretty fish. When you release a fish too, you want to kind of revive them a little bit, and the way you revive them is just kind of rock them back and forth through the water, get some water to go through their gills and eventually they will let you know when they are ready to swim away. This guy is getting ready to let go and hell will kind of start to resist my hand a little bit and then hell swim off, come on fishy, you got ready, youre ready, there he goes. </p>
