The default apex predator for US pond stocking. Three lineages run the market: Northern largemouth (the original American bass, aggressive feeders, ubiquitous nationwide), Florida largemouth (south Florida natives that grow significantly larger - the genetic source of all 10 lb+ pond fish), and F1 hybrids that cross the two for the growth rate of Florida with the aggression of Northern. Pick lineage based on what your pond is built for: numbers + action vs trophies.
Bream / shiners / shad in pond; pellet-trainable but most reach trophy size on natural forage
Coppernose bluegill (forage), threadfin shad (deep-water forage), redear shellcracker
48 states; CA + parts of HI prohibit largemouth bass introduction without permit
State legality is enforced at checkout - the Fast Aquatics 52-rule legality engine blocks restricted shipments before payment. Permits + DNR rules vary by state for sport-fish stocking over personal-use thresholds.
