George those are some gorgeous bass! Are they pure FL genes or is it unknown exact heritage?
Travis, the Camelot Bell program, to the best of my knowledge, is pure Florida Bass stocked by the thousands in a virgin lake with no possible upstream contamination.
Best of the best selected each year for some seven years for fast growth, catchability and confirmation.
I stocked them primarily for son Jeff - avid bass fisherman.
Spoke yesterday - culling plan is to remove every LMB that is not an original fin clipped stocker, has a mottled back or a spot on it's nose.
We should have had good spring spawn but who knows the odds of one on one CBs - all other LMB bass in pond are pure DNA tested Floridas. We removed some ~40lbs of Florida LMB prior to stocking the Camelot Bells.
Interesting stuff - thanks!
George
