The most popular freshwater fish in North America is the largemouth bass. This aggressive predator is adapted to thrive in a variety conditions and water bodies. There are two subspecies of largemouth; the northern largemouth, and the Florida largemouth. Over the years, different genetic strains of largemouth (Northern, Florida, F-1, Tiger®), have been stocked in an effort to improve catch rates and/or fish size.
At American Sport Fish we produce 3 genetic strains of largemouth bass: theTiger Bass®,the Northern Bass, and the.The Florida bass tends to grow larger than the northern and exhibits better growth rates. The northern bass is more aggressive and more tolerant to colder temperatures.The Tiger bass® combines the aggressive nature of the northern bass with the growth rates and size of the Florida bass. These different strains of bass can reproduce with one another if mixed. If you would like to improve the genetics of an existing bass population in your pond and would like more information on how to introduce a different genetic strain, give us a call!
