A new fisheries study has revealed enough genetic distinctions between black bass species to warrant a revision of bass record categories.⁠
⁠
The International Game Fish Association has greatly expanded the species of black bass that qualify for its record books. IGFA now recognizes seven new black bass species for all-tackle world record availability, and the organization has revised four of seven existing black bass records. Plus, any new world-record, all tackle submissions for largemouth bass will require genetic testing to qualify for the record books.⁠
