Were the 3 groups of smb a combination of the northern strain and southern strain?
I can confirm Hartley's fish are not pure northern strain. Not "bad" fish but growth is extremely slow compared to any that have tested (DNA) to be Dale Hollow strain. Not 1 grower has been able to confirm DNA testing other than my own, other than 9 I tested from Mr. Ron Crismon and yes, they match true northerns perfectly.
