Great pics bowjo! And I think you're correct on the species IDs, but someone who really knows what they're looking at could verify.

So were all of these in the same stocking?

It is interesting to see the variations in some of them. And it looks like the 2 BG may even be different.

When were these fished stocked again?

Pretty interesting stuff, I hope we hear from the experts on these.

Thanks for the pics.

IDs look good to me. The 2 BG do look different. The bottom one looks to be younger and eating better. Note the smallish head and particularly tail, compared to the body. Good looking hybrids.

Thanks everyone.It is amazing what this pond has turned to in the few months it has been full.I can't believe how fast the fish are growing.they are all very fat and healthy.I want to thank everyone on this site for all the help selecting fish and maintaining my pond.I don't believe my pond would be anything like it is if I had not found this site.Special thanks to you guys that suggested HBG and HSB,they are a blast just watching them eat......Joe

Do you happen to have any updated pictures you could post, just wondering if htey have grown much since you are feeding them.

Thanks

Given that these were taken only a month ago, I'm guessing there's not any real appreciable change, mrhello. That's not a whole lot of time for substantial growth.

I guess it is not, I just thought that if his happen to vary in size like mine do he may have a large one in the mix somewhere.

Oh well I guess we will see some updates when they are available.

Thanks

As a bluegill lover why are the bluegill "dreaded?" frown


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

That HSB looks real healthy!

That is a nice HSB, I sure would like a few of those as extras in my pond.

It is interesting to see the different variations of your HBG.

This sure makes me want to get out to my pond and check it out. I have had the feeder up about 3+ weeks so probably need to get out and check on it.

I only set it on 2 seconds but not sure how much food it trows in that time or how much the bucket will even hold.

May just buy some to be safe since it is so far to get out there to begin with.

Thanks
