I have always heard it said that the CNBG will achieve a larger size than the native, or northern BG, all other variables being equal.

However, recent information suggests that both fish have the capability to exceed three pounds. Perhaps someone vastly more knowledgeable than myself will weigh in, or maybe even show us a pic or two...

"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.
