Im actually glad it got hijacked. This info is very valuable to me as I have admired all of the respondents success in their own ponds and am trying to create some of this myself. Both tony and george grow beautiful fish hybrid or not and are obviously doing things right. I value all opinions and agree ultimately it all does depend. I feel that since my goal is to be able to fish sporadically and have a few meals a year...also be able to get my almost two year old daughter into fishing...that I will probably end up going the cnbg route as I am blessed with good genetics close by in buffalo tx. That really has more to do with it than anything. The fish truck guys worry me. I don't wanna start by stocking inferior fish and I cant guarantee the quality off a fish truck vs going and seeing and picking up my babies.

Again thank you to everyone for the great advice.
