These lakes havn't been around all that long I don't think and I'm not sure if they're all Florida strain or not, but there are several over 10 lbs. I'm positive on that. I don't fish for bass all that often but when I do its Shellcracker best place i know of within 35 minutes of me. I caught at least a dozen or more most were 3-5 lbs in april it was fun

Those lakes have been around for decades. For many years they were only open to certain individuals who had worked for the chemical company that owned the place....and certain others who had permission. I don't know the year that it was given to the state but it had plenty of trophy fish in it way before the state got it. The lakes used to be stocked with hybrid bluegill and was full of Gills close to two pounds......rumor has it the day it was given to the state those that had permission to fish it cried....LOL. I am sure many years ago it just had regular strain of large mouth in it.....and still does.
