Not if it's hybrid vigor.


So the hybrids have the capability of out performing the parents, where ultimate size potential is concerned? I'm all about hybrid vigor, but was under the impression it did not allow for greater growth than could be achieved by the "pure" parental strain?

whoa...looks like Bill beat me to it...


I thought hybrids could outgrow their parent species? I've never seen a 3 pound regular strain bluegill but took in 3 pound hybrid once.

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