The discussion on Camelot Bell got me thinking back to the multi page discussion a few years ago on La Perla, the ranch in South Texas that was trying to grow giant bass. Any news on it? Any monster Bass being caught?

Best I can remember, TPW blamed them for the death of a ShareLunker and that was the end of the la perla threads.

I figured it was about the only place that could break the record.

Looking at the pics, looks like water supply became an issue.

Apparently the section he is selling, Twin Lakes, isn't the same section that he was doing the bass management on. Listing says he is selling it to finance and focus on the main lakes section.

Great read and good to know things are on track there. I wish he was still posting here, it was very interesting hearing his plans and status.

I just reached out to Dr. Schwarz the other day. The lakes are doing fine. In 2015/16 he had some issues with high salinity. He's fixed that. Last year if I recall correctly he removed something like 7000 bass from the lake through electro shocking. That's his preferred method to remove fish so that he keep angling pressure low. He has another round of electro shocking scheduled for the end of February. That should be the next good data point he gets on the health of the La Perla. To the best of my knowledge Jalisco is still doing great.

Probably selling them to someone for their own lakes.
