The largemouth bass is a freshwater fish and can be found from southern Canada down through the eastern United States and down into northern Mexico. It can also be found from the Atlantic coast to the Midwest. It prefers water that's fairly shallow and full of vegetation. This gives the fish protection from predators and allows them to see their prey without being seen.
