I know smallmouth bass are predominantly northern or cold water fish. I know they can live with lmb. What is the main reason they don't do well down south? I don't even think there would be a supplier down south.Just pondering if I had some in my new 2 acre pond and only 12 ft deep. Would they even survive?
