Will Tiger Bass be the answer to growing bigger bass

[WB Staff]

In hopes of producing bigger largemouth bass in Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, state wildlife officials have recently stocked 93,000 "Tiger Bass" fingerlings in the northeastern Oklahoma reservoir.

What is a Tiger Bass? Well, the name “Tiger Bass” is a registered trademark of the American Sport Fish Hatchery in Alabama.

The name refers to the specific cross developed at the commercial hatchery, using a strain of aggressive, pure northern largemouth bass bred with a strain of proven trophy Florida largemouth bass.

The Tiger Bass stocked in Grand Lake are a cross of true F1 (first generation) Florida largemouth bass and northern largemouth bass.

Tiger Bass have a better tolerance for colder water temperatures than Florida largemouth bass, but retain the growth potential of Florida largemouth bass.
