At just a few pounds and roughly 14 inches in length at full maturity, it’s not one of the larger bass, he said.

So, a population of spots that got segregated for a few thousand years.

So I'm confused - the 'Choctaw' is a new species of bass (linked) but they've been caught in Petite Amite (by posters here) without anyone knowing that they weren't Spotted bass.

Da Fuk?

I think that was a side bar question about Kentucky bass/ spots. Caught me for a minute too.

bullshite!

It's a mutation from the tons of lead, brass and C4 I helped dump and blast in the Pearl from PBRs during the 80's, before we cared about pollution.

(I bet you could still dredge up truckloads of 7.62 and .50 cal brass from a few particular spots in the Pearl)
