Does anyone on the forum have spotted bass as the main predator for sunfish????? If spotted bass tend to be more aggressive, why is it no one or at least very few fish farms grow them?. Sounds to me this aggressiveness would make them a very good predator to have in ponds that receive frequent angling activity and hook shy bass problem would be less. IMO there is a niche market for these fish.
Who would not like to have their pond with large aggressive spotted bass regularly on the end of a fish pole? Here are numerous eastern US state records for spotted bass (in KY aka Kentucky bass).
AK 7lb15oz, MS 8lb 2oz, OK 8lb 2oz, TX 5lb 5oz, TN 6lb 1 oz, KY 7lb 1 oz. IN 5lb 5oz, OH 5lb 2 oz, IL 7lb 3oz, IA 2lb, KS 4.4lb, NE 3lb,12 oz, AL 8lb 15 oz, GA 8lb, FL 3lb 7oz.
