Thoughts - naming your "LUNKER" bass you gotta use "Overton" name for marketing purposes AND "Belle" for genetic heritage" The name has to gain serious attention - too bad Lone Star Lunker has already been used.. Todd, I see a huge business advanatage to come up with this independent marketing opportunity. Who other than Overton Fisheries has the biological credentials than Todd Overton, with fish farm resources including over 30 hatchery/grow-out ponds with unlimited hatchery, forage production and marketing expertise? George Glazener I like it OVERTON LUNKER BELLE

I like that. Whatever you call them, Walt Overton delivered me some yesterday and I saw a ruckus in my pond this morning and I walked down there to see these 3" bass destroying my FHM population.

Lots to consider when naming them ... do you retain "Camelot" at all, pointing to the lineage which is a known name in the trophy bass community? Or would there be any sort of legal issues by including the name "Camelot"?
Personally from what I've read, watched, and observed first hand this strain of bass should include "pugnacious" in the name. Def = inclined to quarrel or fight readily; quarrelsome; belligerent; combative. Does that not accurately describe these bass?
Overton's Pugnacious Bells
Overton's Pugnacious Largemouth

What about playing to the widely recognized potential, while establishing your own brand?
"Overton's is excited to write a new chapter in an already storied lineage....building on exceptional genetics, we proudly present our Excalibur Bass"
Over the top?

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

I like these ideas a lot. I do not retain the use of Camelot or Bell. I would like the name to be original.
Keep in mind these fish have a golden shine as well. This attribute may also help to inspire names.
It's ALL about the fish!

Todd, many PB viewers are not aware of the distictive markings on these fish, and as you know I am color blind as a bat, so much for color ID for me. I do know you like the golden shine obvious on some of your "Golden Bass". Playing on the distinctive markings that readily ID your fish is important for your future brood bass selection. I like the 'blue'green' (you told me the color?) spot on their nose. I also like the mottled back. How 'bout posting photo examples of these markings for others to see and get ideas? "TEXAS GOLD"Beautiful fish - fun stuff! George

Just sayin'. I laughed when I first saw the statement, but we continue to call ours "our little cannibals". Todd, I agree with Al here, because the first thought that came to my mind(before I read Al's suggestion) was "Cannibals". And after seeing your additional responses to the suggested names, I think "Overton's Golden Cannibals" would stick to these Pure Bread Bass. Good call Al. Tracy

X3. Great way to link to "Camelot" without stepping on anyone's toes. I'd be a little hesitant to name/market on any distinctive physical characteristic--what if it doesn't show up in all fish, or alters with water quality/environment/diet.......then you'll have customers thinking they didn't get a full dose of the real thing.

X4 on Excalibur but, if you want to totally divest yourselves from the entire Camelot theme, you could go with something simple like
Overton's Golden Legacy LMB
Indicating these superior fish are an Overton's golden gift to the pond/lake community

Is the coloration absolute and indicative, or can it be variable among individuals? Does it retain in all waters?

Spark, with color blindness, I can call 'em like I see them.. There is a rumor floating around that Todd has a fly rod in his hand fishing a Colorado mountain stream this morning - a well deserved vacation! I would await his answer even though I look for non-color characteritics due to many color changes due to water proprties. George

I won't speak for Todd, but I see the coloration and markings very clearly on all of Todd's special stock.

"Overton's is excited to write a new chapter in an already storied lineage....building on exceptional genetics, we proudly present our X-caliber Gold Bullet Bass."
