Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying you should not do some DNA testing. I'm just not sure the effort will clear up what happened.

I do see what you are saying about keeping some of the bass if they turn out to be some kind of desirable strain.


Well if they are pure Florida, then I would think that the likelihood that they were bucket stocked would be much slimmer, since, I would think, anything coming from a lake would not be PURE Florida.

But the main thing that it would tell me is that I would not need to be concerned about removing all of the fish via rotenone. I could just work with what I have instead of starting over.
