    one person would have knowledge of this. May it is a secret among state employees. I also would like to know where
    the person that wrote the article for bassin times got his information.
    The person that responded to my inquiry was Lee McClellan.

Hybrids was not mentioned. That being said it's obvious that MagikSmallie is correct. In my opinion, it's apparent that there is a lot of misinformation and misconceptions out there regarding the Florida strain and I along with several others have fallen victim to believing what has been published on the subject even if it's from what could be considered a reliable source.


    Now I'm wondering what the southern limit of the northern strain is. Do we have an Ichthyologist out there?
    The biologist was wrong because a few years ago Deer Creek Lodge in Sebree Ky dug a huge lake and stocked it with Florida Strain LargeMouth and those fish are reproducing well.

    Just took a look at Deer Creek's website. Those fish are hybrids.
