I'd say it will not be broken any time soon. I think that fish, and others of that caliber, are left over of the original Florida Strain's stocked in the lake. Many are dying off from old age. Yes their genetics are now mixed with the native bass, and while they will still grow big, many biologist seem to feel that cross breeds don't grow as large as pure Florida Strain bass.

The first generation of the cross-bred fish are the (H1). It will be harder for a true northern to breen with a true florida, as time goes on. I know when the TWRA sampled CBA fish over 8lbs, every single one had fla genetics to some extent.
