What to look for in identifying true RES - 06/19/19 02:29 PM
Need a little help here. Stocked 150 RES into our 1 ac pond in April of 2015. We’ve caught very few through the years. However this year we have been catching many RES/HBG crosses. They all seem to have a much larger mouth than what I’ve seen for normal RES.
Last weekend we caught 50 like this one pictured. Because they were feeding so aggressively I’m assuming they are still a mixture of RES and HBG, but I’m not sure. They have the smaller mouth. So, what are your thoughts on this one pictured? Cross or RES? What can I look for to determine if it’s 100% RES? This would not have been from this years hatch would it?
Thanks,
Jeff
