Fishery context

Why largemouth bass matter here

Guntersville is known first for big largemouth. Milfoil and hydrilla create enormous feeding and ambush zones, while river ledges, bridges and current keep more than one pattern alive.

The headline fishery: nationally known for heavyweight largemouth and a grass bite that can be outstanding without ever becoming simple.
