Hey Doc

Great project - am excited to see the results. I also started a Hybrid crappie project last year - using Magnolia Crappie - BCxWC hybrid - and stocked 150 3-4" with abundant GSH and FH forage base and a 12 6" HSB in a .2 ac pond so the negative impact is minimal should the Crappie overpopluate. Magnolia Crappie offspring are reportedly very inferior and their population is theorhetically easily controlled. I don't have any data to report from my experiment yet, but wanted you to know we seem to share goals. With Greg at the helm and helpful guidance from the forum I think you've put all the odds in your favor.
