Jim, I'm 99.9% sure that all Korean Bass are Louisiana strain

Where did you hear they might be from Louisiana?

There was a Korean documentary on TV here in Korea that said that the bass were brought to Korea from Louisiana in the 1960's $:-\$

That could've been Florida strain brought to louisiana, couldn't it?

That's a good point......but what are the odds ?? ?? ??

No matter where they are from, you need to put me on those fish when I come to visit you

That lake is special and is a 5+ hour drive Northeast from here, I don't think we'll be heading there.....but there plenty of lakes with good fish we can fish at easily. I caught 2 beauties yeaterday in one of them

Like silersalmon said, "No matter where they're from they're great fish."
