Bass fishing is the activity of
angling for the
North American gamefish known colloquially as the
black bass. There are numerous black bass species considered as gamefish in North America, including
largemouth bass (
Micropterus salmoides),
smallmouth bass (
Micropterus dolomieui),
Spotted bass or Kentucky bass (
Micropterus punctatus),
Guadalupe bass (
Micropterus treculii), and many other species and subspecies of the genus
Micropterus.
Though referred to as bass, all are actually members of the sunfish family (
Centrarchidae: order
Perciformes).
