There are peacock bass in some of the reservoirs. Like all bass species they aren't "fished", they're "hunted" with guile and a variety of lures, but not worms.

I've heard that largemouth bass have been introduced in lakes. Don't know for sure.

I've always been curious about bass fishing in the freshwater reservoirs here. Since bass aren't a fish that can be easily caught from the shore and spook easily, my gut says there may be some monsters out there.

I've caught Peacocks in canals and Lake Okeechobee in FL. They can be monsters, 2-3' long, and ferocious fighters. Not a typical super light tackle fish necessarily.

But you'll need a boat. Therein is the rub. Small boat.
