The situation in most western states is considerably different. In
California, for instance, there are no species of bass that are native to
the waters. Some species are doing quite well adapting to the environment,
but to determine which species or hybrid is best for a particular body of
water in California is still being researched.

I would start moving out and look at some offshore stuff (maybe you
already fish that stuff), find

It's very tiny Chris, you have to carry your boat into the lake area. You
could swim it...and I have :-) I would have hit at least one in all the
time it's been fished. Hope they were put in the other lakes too. Those
lakes could easily sustain a population of smallies. And for those of you
that were wondering...It was a smallie, no if's and's or but's about it

I have heard all my life that Kentcuky Spotted bass are a natural cross
between a largemouth and a smallmouth.

I don't "think" that is correct, (I don't know for sure) as we have the
Kentucky bass everywhere down here, and no small mouths, south of the
Tenn. river

Every small stream and creek has the Kentucks in them down here

Nope, a totally naturally occuring subspecies of bass.

I wouldn't say "no" smallmouths as many are reportedly caught in
Texas (state record is 7.93) and Georgia's state record smallmouth is
7 lbs. 2 oz. I would assume that there are some scattered smallies in
the southern states..

Everyone should keep in mind that there are other bass that look
similar to smallies and kentucky "spotted" bass too: Suwannee bass;
Redeye bass; Shoal bass...

They are in the state,, just "NONE" south of the Ten. river basin, they
have even tried stocking lakes and rivers further south, in Alabama, but
all stockings failed. The one they just knew would work was Lewis Smith
Lake, a very deep clear water lake, only about 50 miles south of the
Ten. River, but it also failed and they stopped trying after 5 years

Actually, a species (Micropterus punctulatus), not a subspecies, but you
knew that, you just misspoke.

If you are saying US, there are several recorded catches of
smallmouth below the Tennessee river line in different states.

But if you are saying that there were no smallmouth bass "in
Alabama" south of the Tennessee river area...I don't know about that
one.

However, I'd speculate that if they stocked Lewis Smith 5 years
ago with smallies...10-1 there are some smallies still in it and they
just haven't been found by the fisheries down there yet. I've seen
quite a few lakes here in Indiana where fisheries people didn't think
there were smallies in them and there were.
