As simple of a solution as that may sound, I don't think it would be that easy. Few of us around here are nearly qualified enough to make the decision to introduce non-native fish to our waters. IMO, stocked rainbows are ok, since they cannot breed. Have they been able to do that for bass? Introducing new non-native species to an environment can have very complex consequences, many of them unforeseeable.
I suggest reading up on introduced carp, cane toads, and apple snails to start.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to try my hand at bass fishing, but I'll make the trip out there. I don't need another introduced species causing potential havoc around here.
