trinton, I answered this somewhere, but near impossible to tag a fingelring bass. However you can clip a fin to serve as a mark, If it starts growing back clip it again.
Nick, yes you are right if they are true native northern strain bass. I agree that is why TX had several large bass popping up. They were true F1's producded from the Florida and native's getting together. Here in GA DNA studies have shown that the genetics of largemouth bass are a mix. Florida bass have more of an influence even up toward the piedmont of the state than Northern subspecies. So I was thinking TX had this same mix, and guess I was wrong.
