I read somewhere that it's believed that the current world record LMB may have been a naturally-occurring northern-Florida cross. And, I know that tiger bass grow exceedingly fast in the South, as evidenced by multiple posters on here stating they've had them grow three pounds per year; and obviously they hit lures much better than Floridas. So I can't see how tiger bass could be wrong all the time.
But I realize also that I may be off as to what the presentation was about, though I'm guessing it pertained to either F1 offspring being genetically inferior, or naturally-occurring Florida-northern crosses being inferior, or the offpsring of naturally-occurring Florida-northern crosses being inferior, or all of the above...Which I suppose translates to, I wish I had been there and heard the presentation! Details for those of us poor slobs who missed it?
