I have done my best to only stock genetically superior fish...but I did have to buy standard coppernose, I'm betting there's a huge market for pure BG with your growth potential. It's great to see the results of selective breeding, do you know the age of the 11+" ?
This is the first year that I'll have more than a handful of fish from these breeding pairs. I may have as many as five thousand.
Ultimately, if I keep them all alive maybe five hundred will be worth a darn. There will even be some really slow growers in the bunch. I'll run a seine in September and get rid of at least 80% of them.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
