The largemouth bass is native to the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes, Hudson Bay (Red River), and Mississippi River basins from southern Quebec to Minnesota and south to Texas, along the Gulf Coast, and southern Florida. Nevertheless, it has been introduced throughout the United States as a sport fish.
The largemouth bass has an olive-green colour or a greenish gray. The largemouth is the largest of the black basses, being able to reach a maximum recorded overall length of 75 centimeters.
