I was told about the F1's from a hatchery and then I did some research and now I don not want them . It has something to do with down the line the hybrid weakens from parent to kids and keeps deluting . The article was Tennessee Lake management : the truth about F1's I am going with a pure breed of LMB
I believe that's somewhat accurate. F1 hybrids don't keep their hybrid vigor when they reproduce, and their F2, F3+ offspring are inferior to their parents. With that being said, they still have a huge role in the ponds of folks wishing to grow large bass. You'll just have to restock more F1's every now and then. Since you're in Nevada, pure Florida bass might be good too, it just depends on your goals. There are pros and cons with both.
