Kenny, they are Lone Star Legacy LMB from Overton's, but back then they were named Camelot Bells. They're 100% pure Florida's, that were breed for growth rate and aggressiveness. They do look a little different than most LMB, but I'll let the guys that stocked more of them pass on all the marking details. I got them because I desperately needed some new genetics in my aging big pond, and I'll probably get some more this year.
That's very cool. I don't know that I've ever seen a FLMB. They tried some in the 80's in a very deep central Kansas Res but I don't believe they ever made it very far. They stocked fish around 3lbs and I think the idea was to see if they could get some crossing but the project was never really proven. Your second pic-besides the molting pattern standing out-the pointed tips of caudal fin are very interesting to me, Beautiful fish for sure! Thanks for sharing the pics.
