Also Do nto know the numbers you stocked but it is not too late if really want to grow big bass to stock additional forage or more numbers and scale back on numbers of bass stocked next June. We can flip you a stocking plan based on your goals if interested it is working pretty dang well.


Greg, is there any evidence thus far about the maximum size potential of the tiger bass as compared to pure strain florida LMB?

What is the northern limit where you would advise against the stocking of pure florida LMB as the lone predator in a new lake? I know they have been stocked as far north as Maryland to add florida genes to the pool, but that is a very different scenario.
