Well everything is balanced on this planet.
I think is not so much how fast they will grow but rather how fast and how long they will grow.
And the warmer the weather, the faster bass grow... that's a fact !
But then again, those bass tend to die earlier.
I still think California will produce the next W. Record (depending on how you see it, it already has).
Still I know from a South-African friend that South Africa has huge bass, that they grow big, fat fast.
But I've yet to see a 20pounder from Africa.
Even Zimbabwe only had a 19 something if I remember well.
And I guess bass populations in Zimbabwe have taken a beating, since old Mugabe is starving the population.
Anyway, beautiful pictures, awesome fish and welcome on Bass Resource.
The problem in Africa is not the heat or the idiotic politicians, but the sheer size of it. there are hundreds of thousands of of square kilometers where no bass fisherman has gone in many years. I am positive that there are fish well in excess of 22 pound swimming somewhere in Zim or Mozambique !
