BGXRES could be 97% male of F1 generation but the succeeding F generations may not be as high of a percentage of males. I think Omaha is right to be concerned. I would only take a few rogue females to cause "trouble". Only way I would not be concerned is if the pond was easily drainable or lent itself for renovation.
"" Bill says he saw that for 10-12 years in one pond."" True but after the 12 years most of the current fish resemble GSF and appear to be prolific. The only benefit to them that I see is they are fairly narrow bodied and larger YP and smallies can eat a lot of those F generation trash. I thought that I caught out all the small type GSF but evidently I missed at least two and their numbers have rebounded. All those trashy GSF that I caught out I hand fed to the pellet trained SMB and two big HSB in the pond.
