As a producer of F1 hybrid largemouth bass, I found the presentation by Dr. Wes Neal to be of particular interest.

With the assumption that Dr. Neal is correct with his recommendations, we should be stocking EITHER pure strain northern LMB OR pure strain florida LMB in our ponds instead of mixing them up or stocking F1s.

Conclusion: Most of us, including me, have been screwing up big-time. How do we swallow this? How do we manage from now on in lieu of this new evidence? How do we sleep at night?


It's ALL about the fish!
