No they can never "revert back" althouh they can exhibit characteristics more of one parent than another.

The good news about hybrids is they are pretty agressive to bite a hook. If you decide you don't like them you can fish them out over time. You will never get all of them, but your catch rate will favor HBG over regular BG proportion wise to the numbers in the pond.

That has been my experience anyway. They have not been a problem for me, but my goals are for a panfish pond and not a trophy pond. They might not meet the forage needs for a LMB trophy pond if there are too many of them.
