Florida bass

[sweetwater]

The term Florida bass is not a generic term, it is a strain of largemouth bass having its own scientific name and if you have found that it is a "regional nickname" for the northern strain then I would guess that the region being referred to in this case would be the region(s) of Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Texas, and any other region in which the Florida Bass has been introduced.

The two recognized subspecies of the largemouth bass are the northern largemouth (Micropterus salmoides salmoides) and the Florida largemouth (Micropterus salmoides floridanus).

How do you interpret this? http://www.explorekentuckylake.com/l...ng/species.htm

It says Micropterus salmoides floridanus does it not?


What does this say?

Point being that Florida bass or hybrids thereof are in Kentucky, whether it be naturally or by introduction, but none the less but they are here.
