Nice hat and nicer fish.

Can you be more specific why this fish looks like Arkansas genetics? I'm trying to learn a little here. I've only caught coppernose at Lusk's place, and if I saw this fish I would have just thought "Beautiful coppernose" and wouldn't have seen anything to require further analysis.
Thanks for the compliments guys - hope Dr. Dave sees the post.

I thought more Arkansas because of darker color.
I had a couple of "for certain" Florida trait CNBG and a couple of (?) Arkansas trait CNBG in darkened live well.
The 2 Floridas remained light coloration, whereas the (?) Arkansas remained dark color.
All were very agitated... \:D
