Hold up, I thought hybrids never reverted back to their original parents' species? confused


Omaha, you are correct. From all the reading I've done, they may attain a state in which one of the parent species' traits become very dominant, but it does not seem that a hybrid will EVER actually change its genetics to another species, even if it's a parent species. Maybe we'll get some true expert feedback on this to confirm or refute, but I'm with you 100%.

I need to catch a few more to really see what what. I'm think if the sizes start coming on up. I'll start keeping a few of the large ones 7 to 8" to make room for these. Right now they're bass bait. lol

Agreed, that fish has no Hybrid or Green sunfish that I see.

Pure BG


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

BG not a HBG. You likely won't find HBG offspring as the 20% BG will produce 80% + of the offspring.

You need to post the other offspring picture you have posted on bigbluegill.com it is the one that looks more like a hybrid and it could even be a BG x HBG offspring.

Please post it and get the experts opinion on it.

Thanks

Dan...

Have you considered stocking Tilapia in the spring to help supplement the forage for your bass? BG will increase in number due to less predation and bass will gain a good deal of weight. If you do this and harvest your smaller bass in the slot that has been recommended, it will go a long way to help correct your problem.

Wow guys! I cannot relay how busy I've been! My pops recently was diagnosed with cancer. He visited between cheemo treatments and that has been a real treat. He lives on the west coast and other than a short (3week) mountain bike vacation in August I haven't seen him in a few months. His recent visit has been great and he just left for home for the next treatment on the 1st. I'm afraid(patiently) that my efforts will resume next year. I haven't seen any damage done by time ...only balance. The problems (if they are as bad as I think) will be there in the spring and it seems I'll have more options then than I do now. Going into the hunting season is not the time for me to bite off another management task, having hunters in and out will occupy most of my time and not lend much extra. If we could resume this topic of conversation in the spring I would be most grateful. also...lol I still want the "I subscribe dancing fish" Hope you all have had it good and all the best for the future. Dan.
