I am looking for some information to help me make a educated decision on how to manage my new pond.
1st,how inferior are the second generation of hybrid bluegills? 2nd, How many generations does it take for them to revert back to green sunfish or bluegill?
Here is why I'm asking that question.
I built a new 2.5 acre pond last year. in September I stocked bluegill and Channel Cats from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. I bought what was supposed to be 200 redear sunfish from someone else. this past May I stocked 400 largemouth bass fingerlings.
Turns out my redear where hybrid bluegills. They are 7-8 in long now and I'm seeing some about 3-4 in long just like them.And I am seeing some of the big ones and small ones still nesting! I am concerned that an inferior fish will take over my pond!I have read everything I could find about hybrid bluegill but nothing answer those 2 questions.
Thanks for any info, Kevin
