Our Overton Lonestar Legacy Florida Bass have Camelot Bell Genetics in the mix but they don't make up the entirety of our Gene pool, we have tweaked the genetics with certified Florida Bass from other sources to ensure we have maximum growth potential. As Anthropic said the Green spot shows up on a large percentage of Florida's but I also see it in F1s as well as random bass that come in ponds from who knows where.
Our F1's are a cross between our Legacy Florida Bass and our source for Northern Bass. These fish have tremendous growth potential as we have produced double digit fish both in the pure Florida Legacy Bass and the Northern Feedtrained Bass (Albeit not very often, but I've seen plenty of 7-9lb) F1's seem to be slightly more aggressive than the pure Florida's but the main selling point is their willingness to feed train and stay on pellets in a natural environment, this takes alot of the guess work and active management out growing big bass in your pond as having high protein fish feed available daily can fill in forage gaps that would otherwise create a bigger issue. The downside to F1's is that as they interbreed in the long run you end up with F2,F3,F4,FX..etc These latter generations lack the hybrid vigor of the first cross and ultimately without the supplementation of genetics in the long run you will end up with fish that has no extraordinary genetic characteristics and is similar to what you would find naturally.
We have successfully feedtrained a good number of pure Florida fingerlings the last several seasons but we still don't have alot of info available as to if they consistently stay on the fish feed after being introduced to a natural environment. Hopefully they consistently do as I believe this will help with their catchability. My recommendations currently for catching our Legacy bass are stick more with natural patterns, especially in clear water, bright flashy lures with a lot of vibration don't seem to entice them as much as more aggressive strains of bass.
