Texas to stock waterbodies with more than 6 million Pure-Strain Bass to genetically enhance largemouth bass populations
Beginning in 1974, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department used pure Florida strain largemouth bass, acquired directly from Florida, as the source of broodfish for stocking Texas’ public waters. The effort is part of the popular Toyota ShareLunker Program and the goal is to grow trophy bass fishing potential in the state.
