Mea culpa!! Cecil was right, and I was wrong. Guess I must have been perpetuating an "old wife's tale" about Florida largemouth bass, eh?

After Cecil questioned me, I started looking for information. I found a study from Texas where they comapred weight-length for Florida LMB and northern LMB. For 4-12 inch bass, the northern fish were plumper. For 12-20 inch bass, there was no difference. So, results much like those that Cecil knew about.

Guess I better stick to what I actually know.
