Largemouth bass get their name because their upper jaw reaches far beyond the rear margin of the eye, making a very large mouth indeed. Because it is so much fun to catch and eat, it is by far the most sought-after fish in Texas, and can be found in many of our lakes, including Lake Livingston. Lake Livingston SP offers camping, picnicking, swimming pool, mountain biking, nature study and fishing for several types of fish besides bass. No fishing pole is needed to catch this microbox, but you might want to bring one to catch the real thing.
