Good post sprkplug... I think what we have to keep in mind is hybrid BG are just that, a cross between BG and usually GSF. GSF do not reach the size BG do, so one would have to reason a cross between the two would not produce a fish that would grow larger than either parent species. I cannot think of one hybrid that gets larger than either parental species. Tiger musky, wipers, saugeye, tiger trout, they all max out about middle between the two parent species. So one would assume, the maximum length BG get is about 16" and the maximum length GSF get is about 12". So I would say maxumim length HBG would get is about 14"... But a 16" BG is incredibly big as is a 12" GSF.
