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.
Many many people on here will tell you Bass can not breed here
