This science fair idea was interesting because of the way that bass react to the different types of lures and the effect of different topwater lures. The bass reacted by striking the bigger lures harder and more often, and because the lure acts like the bass food. This happens because of the different movement each lure gives. The point of this experiment is to find out how different sizes of bass will react to different sizes and movements of top water baits. A topwater lure is something that people mainly use for catching large and smallmouth bass. Through this science fair i was hoping to achieve that the bigger the bass the more aggressive they will hit the bait or that the bigger bass will go after the bigger lures. And that you could

The whopper plopper averaged 7 fish, the popper was just of 6, the spook was just 5 and the buzzbait was 3. The fish preferred the bigger and louder lures because they could see it or hear it better. I thought that the smaller lure was gonna catch more fish but i was wrong because the bigger lures caught more fish. The smaller the lure didn't work more because the bigger lures had more strikes than the smaller lures. What i would do differently in this experiment is target brush, open water, deeper water, rock bottoms, or grass. So what could have happened is used a fish finder to see what i was fishing over. Some errors are that brush, rock, or grass were not target as much as i should. The data did not support the hypothesis because the hypothesis stated that the smaller the top water lure the more fish the will catch, and that was not the outcome. The predicted results were that the smaller the lure would get more hits but what the experiment showed that the bigger the lures got more strikes. The whopper plopper had 7 strikes per day (which was the biggest lure) the popper had 6.6 on average (which the popper was the smallest lure) and bothe the spook and the buzzbait had under 5 strikes a day. The average size of bass (2-4 pounds) hit the lure harder than the smaller and larger bass because the smaller bass didn't have enough muscle to hit it hard and the larger bass were too heavy to jump out of the water. The digger bass also took longer to reel in because they were stronger, they also put a bigger bow in the
