If the jaw reaches past the eye, it is a largemouth. This beginner guide covers everything else: why the biggest bass in the lake is really a giant sunfish, where largemouth hide through spring, summer, fall and winter, the five lures that catch them everywhere (Texas-rigged worm, spinnerbait, crankbait, topwater and jig), how to set the hook, how to handle and release big fish, and how to clean and cook a small one: fried, blackened, baked or in tacos. Always check your local limits.
