boy triton, you better wait until greg rests his fingers for awhile, cuz that's a biiiiigggg question!!! have you ordered the book "trophy bass" from this website? i'm sure these guys would love to help, but you may also find it helpful to have it in print to view at your leisure. you are in for a lot of fun, and a lot of learning. good luck

i was also wondering if anyone knows... i live in northern arkansas, will f1's or fl. strains survive up here? what if i already stocked 1 year ago with the bass provided by the game and fish commission which i believe were just northern strain lmb? i plan to add more bass in the future now that the pond is full, should i stock with f1's, fl.strain, northern; will they mix or what!!? thanks mark
