Billard, The state of Texas spawns them. It's weird in the private sector. Not many people knocking our doors down to grow a bass that hits the 3 pound mark. We have to figure out another reason to grow them. I have electrofished them from central Texas waters but they always looked long and lanky to me. They are cool looking fish with the mottling and different habitat requirements, but I have never had a single request for them...not in 29 years of doin' this stuff.
An afterthought...my experience is that they are easily outcompeted by largemouth bass. That's a big reason the state tries to avoid mixing them with lmb. Ironically, in the Lone Star State, where Texicans brag about everything large, the Guadalupe bass is our state fish.

Teach a man to grow fish... He can teach to catch fish...
