The water exploded with the ferocious take of a big bass.

This year, the big bass were plentiful the first two days, after which smaller fish became common.

There's one big two-pound bass lying dead in front of my building.

Eventually we saw a great, golden flash as the big bass rolled away from the light.

In the next hour we caught another two dozen fish, which included the biggest bass I have ever taken.

But then I landed a big bass, and took the fishing seriously for the next several hours.

I always think there is a big bass under every lily pad on a cool, green lake.

In the olive water, the big bass was a stain of paler green.

At the last moment, the big striped bass decided to pass on the morsel.

He took home a total of $101,000, which included a $1,000 bonus for catching the big bass on Day 2.
