Excerpt from Coarse Fish Culture I am sure, gentlemen, nothing could be more satisfactory than this letter. As an enthusiastic angler for all kinds of fish, I should be the last to advocate the introduction of a fish which would Spoil our sport. Nor would I have anything to say for it if it were a fish like the trout, affording sport chie y to the rich but the black bass is essentially a poor man's fish it will take any kind of bait freely, affords superb sport, and thrives best in just those waters which are not suited to trout and salmon, viz., ponds, lakes, and slow, deep streams.
