Most state hatcheries sell musky fingerlings in the fall/winter for around $50 a pop. Not aware of any that will provide shipping tho. Usually have to pick them up in ur own state…if there legal… what state are u in?

Def. Seems “plausible” then… looks like tigers and regs are stocked in ur state. A quick search pulled up “blue dog fish hatchery”.. might get lucky just calling them. Ur laws look like catch and release only from what i can find so i think collecting is out, may have different laws for possession tho. Might just need to keep ur proof of purchase for legal reasons. Theres usually not too much trouble regarding natives but every state is different. U might b a bit late as there usually stocked right before ice up/winter. Def. Worth calling around ur state hatcheries tho to see if they’ll throw u a bone on a few fingerlings or to even find one that sells to the public.

Dont get me wrong but maybe jonahs one of our native fish suppliers has those in stock from time to time and I believe they are based in Florida

What do you plan on having the bass with? It may be relevant to an earlier question I asked in this section of the website.
