So i am leaning towards a pure genetic Northern Bass because of the higher catch rate. With kids and guests I would prefer for everyone to catch fish rather than getting the one trophy bass. If I want really large fighting fish then I can go snagging in Arkansas or down to the coast. If the genetics are diluted some does it make that big a difference in catch rate? I dont put just a huge amount of stock in our local fisheries to have pure genetics. And comparing florida and northern, do they have the same maintenance requirements from year to year.

And how much lmb for a 3 acre lake that has had minnows and RED and Bluegill in for 6 months?

Thanks
