TP&W sold out the future of Texas bass fishing by wanting to produce the world record bass. They got what they wanted in the short term with the introduction of the Florida strain and all the DD fish publicity but the record didn't happen and never will. Unfortunately, in the process they killed an incredible northern bass fishery. There is a reason Florida bass are not native here. Mother nature always knows best. If you yearn for the good old days of 100+ fish/day spend a week in Minnesota catching the much more aggresive Northern Bass then call TP&W and request that the Northerns be brought back home.

If it wasn't for Florida strain bass there wouldn't be any 13+ lb bass in Texas. Northern Strain don't get that big. TP&W does a good job on these lakes.
