Those smallies can live in Hawaii as I assume they are from streams running from the top of the mountains so they are cooler. Streams in Florida are usually slow and meandering thus having warmer temps, no good for SMB
there never used to be red devils or peacock bass in florida either. but there are now. i dont see why there CANT be ANY s.m.b. in fl at all. i truly believe that if there are fish from south america down there then its is completely plausible that there are also s.m.b.JD7.62;1820719; said:There are no small mouth bass in Florida, look it up.
