Largemouth Bass caught using deep sea jigging, trolling, fly fishing, and light tackle techniques in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

The sun glints off the water. A boat glides across Lake Michigan. Two anglers stand ready. Their rods bend suddenly. A massive largemouth bass breaches the surface. It thrashes wildly. The fishing line strains. The angler grips tightly. The fish dives deep. The battle continues. Finally the bass tires. It's carefully netted. Excitement fills the air. A trophy catch is measured. Photos are taken. The fish is gently released. Memories are made. Another day on Sturgeon Bay.
