I've never hesitated to keep fish if they were legal. I will on occasion let smaller fish go, but if everyone were to let every bass they caught go, the population would suffer just as much as if you caught too many.

This is a great point.
Man is the apex predator ensuring population control and balance in the system. |

That don't mean it's right. My neighbor stocked them Chinese tallow all in his yard and now they all over my place. He got them from he state a long time ago |

Really, because that report that MG posted earlier shows only one stocking event since 1994, and it was Northern strain, not Florida. That report also showed that genetic analysis in 2012 and 2013 only indicated a 12.2% and 10.3% genetic influence of Florida strain.
Doesn't sound like there is much of a presence of Florida strain. |

Those big bass clubs are the squeaky wheel that gets the grease and they put pressure on LDWF to stock them friggin Florida strain bass while we got plenty of native bass. Riding around in their sparkle boats and get mad when I keep a fish to eat. Thats what they are there for - for me to eat and I don't care about the big ones. Them bass shows and bass tourneys are what ruined bass fishing. A man can't keep one without getting yelled at.
If they like Florida bass, they should move to Florida

I agree on the "florida bass" statements. I wish we would just stock native bass. I find they bite more consistently than those stupid florida bass. |

Definitely agree!! False River and Chicot are prime examples. |
