John's Journal... Entry 166, Day 3 THE TIGER BASS AND THE GORILLA BASS New Life in an Old Pond 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 kind of results have you gotten by stocking
the Gorilla Bass or the Tiger Bass into an already-existing pond? QUESTION: Apparently this aggressive strain of Tiger
Bass also triggers strikes from the other strain of bass already in the
lake. QUESTION:
What stocking rate would you recommend for putting these Tiger Bass in
a pond? QUESTION: What do the Tiger Bass cost? For more information about American Sport Fish, write P.O. Box 20050, Montgomery, AL 36120, or call (334) 281-7703. TOMORROW: WHAT TO FEED A GORILLA
