Lake Guntersville, on the Tennessee River in Alabama, is famous for underwater grass and big largemouth bass. Why grass matters, the 2014 Bassmaster Classic, ripping lipless crankbaits in spring, frogs and punching on summer mats, ledge fishing, the fall bite and the winter eagles.

Always check the current local fishing regulations before you go: seasons, limits and closures change every year.
