Bass are famous for striking from underneath, and there’s a scientific reason behind it. Their eyes angle upward, giving them excellent depth perception and a sharper view of anything above.
In weeds, logs, or shade, they use that angle to track silhouettes passing overhead and launch upward in an ambush.
For anglers, working a lure just above a bass’s line of sight taps directly into this built-in hunting advantage.
