Perhaps your referring to the peacock bass?
I was referring to the information in these two articles which quotes the name Florida largemouth bass along with the scientific names that are listed along with the regional nicknames I referred too. If someone would tell me which article is incorrect I'll be glad to complain the publisher. I would be interested in seeing the scientific name of the Florida bass that the author of this thread is referring to since it appears the term Florida bass seems to be a generic term.

According to what I read the northern strain of largemouth is Micropterus salmoides salmoides.

I am aware that the peacock bass is non-indigenous to Florida.
