The same company has also developed a "tigress" bass system. It is a cross between northern and florida bass and only stocking female bass. While keeping the ph and other levels at a certain point, when the females develop eggs and there are no males to reproduce, they never lay the eggs and they the eggs become consumed by the bass as weight. Then the bass get larger faster. Only problem is the need to consistently stock bass because of no reproduction. And you are limited to stock less bass per acre.

LOL yeh i just hope that they come up this far north

Someone should create a hybrid of the Florida Black bass and the south Florida Peacock strain.

That would be one heck of a game fish.

I heard Bass Pro Shop is already  changing the name of their boats to Gorilla Tracker.

I know someone in GA that has a pond of TIGRESS bass, basically grow to 10lbers in 4-5years so far.  Dwight caught one, surprise surprise.

so im assuming they are just ponds/lake that people live on and that's there fish of choice to stock?
