The only way to tell if it's Florida strain is DNA testing. Who knows how many fish migrate through the locks every year, There's Fla. bass upstream and downstream of Nickajack and have been for years. I knew a guy that used to fish tourneys on the Nick, had a really fast boat. He would launch and run up to the Chick, lock through and fish, then run back down to the weight in. So there's probably Fla, genes in these fish now. I thought the stocking of Fla. strain bass in Nickajack just started last year, someone on this forum surely knows when the stocking began. So, congrats Andrew, great fish. Thanks for the report.
