Jeff,
Interesting info.
Cecil,
No expert but I know F1's do just fine in KY. Great Lakes yeah I think that would be a poor investment.
He could have lost pure FLorida for sure but who knows???
One point in the quote that contradicated my thoughts. He said Florida live longer that's why they are bigger????
I have been told by many biologist just the oppostie. The Florida bass has a longer growing season in the climates where he can make it. This reuslts in faster growth but also they do not live as long. On the other hand Northern bass grow slowly in cool temps but live longer. Maybe a topic for another thread but not sure I trust this guy after that comment that I think is off the mark. What does others think about age of LMB?
