John's Journal... Entry 166, Day 4 THE TIGER BASS AND THE GORILLA BASS What to Feed a Gorilla 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:
Once you stock the Gorilla Bass in your lake, what other kind of food
do you put in the lake to grow them to 8 pounds in 3 years? QUESTION: So should you exchange shad for bluegill and
bet on that? QUESTION: How many threadfin do you stock, and do you
stock the threadfin shad every year? QUESTION:
If you live north of Tennessee, and you want to grow Gorilla Bass, how
big should your bluegills be before you start putting in these super bass?
