James, I am delighted to hear the good news about your bass! I do wonder a bit if Florida strain, including Camelot Bell, might be more vulnerable to panfish pressure when they try to spawn. Florida LMB tend to be less aggressive in general, which makes for longer life but also tougher fishing when they get big.
