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

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..

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
