One of last year's stockers. Purchased 75 HBG off fish truck in late March, at 3-4" in length. Caged and fed AQ500 for 3 months, released into pond at the end of June. At the time of release 10 random fish were measured to try and establish a crude average, which came out to 5.75" Caught one tonight, he was 8" in length, and went 11 ozs on the scale. I have no way of telling where this fish fit into the size hierarchy when released, but I'm pleased with his performance up to this point. 
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Very nice looking HBG. Congrats on growing nice HBG. Read your article in Pond Boss magazine today about growing HBG. Nice job and article was informative. I will cite the article in the HBG Arcive thread so members can get the back issue if they do not subscribe to PBoss magazine. .

Yeah Tony - I wanted to thank you for penning such a great piece in the magazine. I found it informative without being authoritative, enjoyable and enlightening. You must have some latent English major genes...I was impressed! Well done and thanks T - solid science you're imparting to our little universe.
Excelsior!
