Default Largemouth Introduced in the Mid 1860's

Unless I have my fishing history wrong, the Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass have been in NH waters since the mid-1860's.

Initially the LM & SM Bass were introduced privately. I recall reading about resorts in Sunapee and the Wolfeboro areas, as well as fishing guides that targeted multi species in many NH lakes. Note, there are also articles about special Bass fishing trips by Train from Boston dating back to the 1930's and 40's.
