This paper describes the first record of the largemouth black bass, Micropterus salmoides (Lacepède, 1802)—a non-native fish species—in the freshwaters of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A single specimen was captured in the Sava River near the small town of Kaoci (northern Bosnia and Herzegovina) in December 2014. The origin of this introduction is not known, but most probably it was a dispersal from neighbouring freshwater habitats from other parts of the Sava River basin in Croatia and the Danube River in Serbia.
