Super User 00 mod Posted April 26, 2013 Super User Posted April 26, 2013 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. Jeff Quote
DelfiBoyz_One_and_Only Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Guess I will have to name one of my new baitz "the Va gorilla killa"! SWEET Jay Quote
JSPOONE Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 LOL yeh i just hope that they come up this far north Quote
GLADES Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 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. Quote
gar-tracker Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I heard Bass Pro Shop is already changing the name of their boats to Gorilla Tracker. Quote

Jeff 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. Quote
