I remember the 25 pound bass caught in California.The coloring on my 7 pound bass looks like a Calif. strain..The fish was caught in a Tenoroc managing lake...
This next fish was caught at uh..a good spot ....a place that has been stocked with FL bass since the 1940s..note the difference in the bigness of the eyes and that dark line going down the side..All the fish I catch out of the Tenoroc pit look the same..less black in the line and huge eyes..just like the Cal. strain.The 8 pounder was caught at uh ih a good spot...and all the other bass caught there have the same smaller eyes in comparison and and much more prominant patchy black line..
