In privately owned lakes and ponds it doesn't matter and it is legal to transport and own any of the black bass species
Brought Home A Baby Largemouth Bass!

In response to your question, it will out grow your 75 about as fast as he will outgrow the 150.....which is fast lol. The minimum size IMO would have to be an 8 x 4 sized tank for a largemouth....at least to keep one properly and even that is small for one.
I fed my goldfish some goldfish flakes and the bass watched them eat it and then it ate some too lol AMAZING
In a lot of states where bass are considered game fish, there are often some locations (Lakes, Ponds, Reservoirs) without size limits on bass. Just depends where you're fishing.
Even when caught in private ponds though, the transportation of live game fish is usually still illegal. In NV you can't even posess a live game fish away from the body of water where it was obtained without permits and records showing where, when, and how you obtained them.
Funny I can buy dozens of species from all over the planet for my home aquarium with no hassle at all, but I can't go out to a local stream and catch some of my own without jumping through legal hoops.
Once I get a bigger setup you can bet I'll be jumping through some hoops though.
I really want a native tank. 
Cool looking bass man. Have fun with him.

I started my bass off w/ feeders in the first few weeks just to keep it healthy. I then went on to frozen blood worms for a few days, once the bass was eating the worms with no rejection (and learned that I was feeding it) I moved it to pellets. It took 7 days before my bass finally accept the pellets (tetracichlid jumbo sticks). Now it devours them on contact w/ the water!
Please stop hatin' on people who wish to keep 1 or 2 gaming fish.
There are fisheries that overfish and risk killing off a whole species, go bother them FFS.
Congrats btw, looks beautiful, give it a nice home and possibly a mate if possible. ^^

It's all good Sp. I'm just happy to have the little guy or girl lol.. I don't know about a mate kurare, I already need a big tank for just the one bass! I'm looking at a 220g with everything and stand for $800. Sound fair?
