I believe this to be very true! I have CNBG in North Arkansas and I have had freeze overs on my pond of about 1 inch for up to a week. Last year was one of them and I from what I can tell did not lose any CNBG as a matter of fact my BG are doing great this year. So I think some of them are a little stronger then we think....

Or as stated on other posts they have a little North DNA in them maybe to make them a little stronger???

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Ok, I took out 2 scales and caught some BG that were 8+" . The scale that I always use showed 1lb 5oz, sound familiar? So I weighed it on my other gill scale & it weighed .63lbs. Quite the difference & torque me off! So I did some weighing of known weights & it seems you have to let the scale 0 it self out instead me zeroing it out. So now that I have my scale figured out I will get some more accurate weights. Thanks for bearing with me!

Nice job JD. Your fish are looking good and the scale probs. are sorted out. That 21 ounce BG will be yours soon!


"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.

I have a couple hundred PS and some native BG in separate cages too, so I can compare mortality rates next Spring.


Scott, if you think about it, ask the fish truck if their HBG utilize CNBG stock.

Guys,

The driver might not know anything.

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

Agreed. His job is to return with an empty truck.


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.

True, but as the saying goes, "no harm in asking". wink In my case, nothing hinges on the outcome either way. Just curious.
