Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Foxworthy Bass for sale

Yeah George has great fish all around doesn't he?? HSB, CNBG, does he have any fish that are not great?? I hope I can get close to how great his HSB are.

Wished we were a bit further south so we could have some of CNBG for our ponds.

It is my understanding that all moderators are extremely wealthy!

Now that there is funny, I don't care who you are!

With the recession ongoing we mods could have a pay cut. But you know how that goes - nothing from nothing leaves nothing. --

The thing about wealth is that is depends on your viewpoint. The homeless person pushing a chrome shopping cart with 4 wheels looks wealthy to the homeless person carrying their stuff around in shopping bags.

Money is for spending. Wealth is everything else good in your life.

Greg, Those prices look great for LMB with that excellent pedigree. Can I get one 20 pounder for $300?

Go Dwight!!!! :-)

I think Dwight would settle for one over 10#'s and name her Darlene2.

This thread has a mind of its own. I hope to tell the whole story via pondboss magazine in the near future. Word has not spread on these bass. We plan to cash some in another pond Wednesday. I will know more then on what we will have.
Sources were pure northern from IL, northern from Malone hatchery, F1 from Malone hatchery, pure Florida from Malone via Todd Overton. We also raised f1 and stocked the fastest growers and those left after canabolism.

It would seem the bass would be limited to those who are in the area where F1 and FL bass are safe to grow as although you may be getting northern LMB, there is a high likelihood you are getting bass with at least 25% FL genetics.

Greg are you describing my LMB ?

Year 4 - looks like this plan is working.

CJ yes the bass have influence from all angles so yes with some FLA might not work too far north.

Eric that is awesome. We are not three yrs in yet so you got a yr on me but that is some good growth for sure. So you stocked what bass?

Greg,
Do you have these available?

So what's your thoughts on them in Illinois?

Greg those are the same (?) LMB you stocked in that lake. From Ill , AFS and Todd.

Yes Eric you do have some of the same bass. Spinnerbait what is the question. We will have foxworthy bass available after next week then any of the other three times we do removal. The other bass available when we go to those hatcheries. Also we are growing out 400 bass that are certified pure Florida we picked up from Ameican Sportfish lady year. Just call or email the office to let us know what you need. Thanks.

Greg what size are the Flas. ?

They grew Little over the winter so still about 5". Plan to put food to em and seine in late April. Update you then.

Would these FLMB stand a chance in an Illinois pond.

BGK, not all are FLA bass...the northerns came from Illinois, but to answer your question, no, FLA will not do well in ILL.

I think what we have us unique but due to genetic diversity and rapid growth. Negative is I dont know the genetics of the bass we are removing. I'm at the foxworthy lodge now all by myself. Just pulled some algae samples. Headed to Auburn for an algae lab first thing in the morning. Boring for us fish geeks but without good algae you aren't growing many good bass. Ill be under the scope until returning here Tuesday night. Update electrofishing results after wed.

Bgk the Florida bass we are growing out would not do well for you. However we will have them avail for southern folk in a few months we hope. They come with certification papers.

It appears we will quite a few stud 14-16" bass to remove/sell. Avg WR of bass removed of this size was 105%. Much fewer 8-10 and 10-12 inch bass.

I caught a 8 plus lb bass little before dark. Man what a bass. Post pics at somepoint but no time another 220 acres (5 ponds) to shock tomm. Love is great this time of year. If Amy want some of these 2 lb bass let us know first batch sold.

Do you have just northerns of these genes? I'm kinda confused on what a FLMB consist of?
