Curious what the most popular types of fish, bait or locations were? Check out our infographic
The USA caught the most fish in 2019, followed by Canada, Sweden, Australia and Great Britain.
Unsurprisingly, the top catches in both The US and Canada were variations of Bass species, with Largemouth and Smallmouth being the most popular. The ever-popular Eurasian Perch and Northern Pike were the second runners up throughout the Nordics and Great Britain.
We saw a nice variety of baits used, but there were some clear Angler favorites:
