My forage pond is only 1/20th acre and very fertile. Every fall I reduce the biomass so the remaining fish will make it through the winter well and have room to grow the next spring. I accomplish this by trapping, angling and cast net over a period of a couple months.

Was throwing the cast net today and moving GSH, RES and a few RESxGSF hybrids over to my main pond. Ran across several of the hybrids so thought I would add the pictures to this thread. They are pictured beside pure RES for reference. Although some may look like the same fish each picture are of fish from different cast net throws. There are no BG in this pond so I know the fish can only be RES or GSF or some combination thereof.

Edit: I'll add one more picture. The last picture I can't decide if it is a pure GSF next to the RES or if it is a hybrid and perhaps an F2 with a lot of GSF characteristics. I think it is a pure GSF. It went to the fillet holding pen.
