Welcome

Glad to have you here.  You did bring beer didn't you?

I am in Tampa right now visiting my sister.  

Welcome FIREHAWK5. Fish On!

And another welcome to nacsa.  It's interesting to see posts from other countries.  I've always considered bass an American fish.  Didn't even know they existed in some of the countries noted here.

Yes they are!

we have several kind of fish, from America. they comes about 100 years before, but they took a lot of problem here. But the largemouth bass doesn't create problem. Unfortunately this kind of fish is the best of all foreign fishes, but they are few population of them.  I try to bring them to private lakes, but it is not easy, cause here the tarditional fishing style is not the spinnig. The most common fish is the carp, and the whitefishes. So there are a lot of place where spinning is illegal, cause it disturbs the carp fishers...  

 So sometimes the situation is difficult here
