 Aggressive- Fast-growing
- One-of-a-kind
Created by our team of scientists, the Tiger Bass® has been specially bred for aggressiveness and fast growth. In well-managed lakes, Tiger Bass® have consistently gained more than two pounds per year. Biologists refer to this fish as a true F-1, because it is a cross between two pure subspecies of bass: a special strain of aggressive Northern Bass (which we call Gorilla Bass) and a pure strain of Florida Bass that comes from proven trophies (females from 13 to 16 pounds). American Sport Fish is the only hatchery licensed to produce and sell the Tiger Bass®
 The world record bass, which weighed 22 pounds and 4 ounces, came from southern Georgia and is thought to be a northern/ Florida intergrade. Our Tiger Bass® have already gained weights of 15 pounds in eight years. We expect them to break state records in the next several years. Contact us for more information on sizes and availability.

Seasonal Tips
Adjust Your Fish Feeding Program for Cooler Fall and Winter Temperatures
Thanksgiving has past and it is time to adjust your fish feeding program for cooler fall and winter temperatures. Research has shown that many fish benefit from a winter feeding program. In many areas of the Deep South, a floating catfish pellet is an effective food even during the late fall and winter. However, it is best to change the feeding time to once daily during the warmest time of the afternoon, usually between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm.
In geographic areas of cooler winter temperatures, a sinking catfish pellet is often the most efficient choice. A sinking pellet will remain on the bottom and be accessible to the bluegill for a long time, whereas a floating pellet may be washed upon the bank if the fish do not eat the food immediately. As the temperature cools, the bluegill’s metabolism slows and it does not eat as much or as often as it might during warmer weather.
Prepare for winter, change the feeding events on your automatic fish feeder to once daily and feed a sinking catfish pellet.
