John's Journal... Entry 166, Day 2 THE TIGER BASS AND THE GORILLA BASS The Texas Study EDITOR'S NOTE: Barry Smith of Montgomery, Alabama, a longtime fisheries biologist, co-owns American Sport Fish in Pike Road, Alabama, one of the largest private hatcheries in the Southeast, with his partner Don Keller. Smith and Keller have developed several breeds of fish that landowners enjoy stocking in their ponds that may find their way to public waters one day. To keep avid fishermen updated on the newest information and the future of bass fishing, we talked with Smith about the two, new strains of super bass that have been developed and now are being stocked into farm ponds, the Tiger Bass and the Gorilla Bass. QUESTION: What has been proven in the state of Texas
about aggression in bass? QUESTION:
What percentage of bass in that angler study were never caught? QUESTION: How many generations of bass have you bred
to get the Gorilla Bass? QUESTION:
These fish will take pelleted food, won't they? QUESTION: How fast do the Gorilla Bass that feed on pellets
grow? For more information about American Sport Fish, write P.O. Box 20050, Montgomery, AL 36120, or call (334) 281-7703. TOMORROW: NEW LIFE IN AN OLD POND
