Has everyone heard the debate on the Florida strain being found to be a seperate species of bass.Apparently some genetics work has been done showing this.
If this is infact true...What do we do with Perry's record bass?.....Was it a Northern species,or Florida species.Both inhabit Georgia...No one will ever know...What a can of worms this could open up!!!..Nathan
