Bill Cody: Why not all female LMB? Do they get too large for what is wanted? BTW, I once caught a male LMB at 6.2 lbs.
Cody answers with - I suggested male LMB instead of female LMB because the males would be easier to see guarding a nest compared to females. Also the males during the spawning season should be emitting white milt when the abdomen is squeezed. Two pretty positive ways to tell you have a male bass. Whereas the female during spawn could be plump or it could be a male with a very full belly. Also a post spawn female could superficially appear as a thin body male. Male LMB will get big enough to adequately control reproduction of HBG.
