Other than those two videos all the Bass have solid coloring on their backs. I didn't know the Florida strain had those patterns. thanks for that information. The Bass in my ponds are locally sourced. Is there a definitive way to identify the Florida strain besides DNA?

Not all Fla LMB have that patterning but it is much more prevalent in Fla LMB. Call the local source and ask them about their sourcing. Last edited by ewest; 10/20/20 10:10 AM.
