I suppose if you use a 50/50 mix of northern and Florida, that could be the case, but in most cases the bass tend to overpopulate. If you want higher fecundity in the bass (hard to imagine), use fewer Floridas. I used a 10:1 ratio northern to Florida, just to have the possibility of an occasional bonus hog. I went with bare minimum stocking numbers, so overpopulation shouldn't be a problem, short term. I'll have results in about a year, and if I have too many bass I'll simply fish them out.

I think you'll get plenty more info and opinons on this real soon!
