Electro-harvest today, ....Florida genes have become increasingly dominant, good news for the size but bad news for fishing success. ......
Can you tell us how this was determined? I agree that it is most likely correct based on my experience and on your previous reports.
In addition to Rod's Gator Chomp action, a dead giveaway if there ever was one, I rely upon Ethan's report from electro shocking. He observed behaviors of larger bass that were more characteristic of Floridas, such as holding deep rather than cruising around for food. Better yet, he examined the fish that were netted. I can't just look at a LMB and tell whether it is northern or florida, but apparently he can, at least most of the time. A few F1s, too, and I'm sure some Fx.
