Just a short update on our HSB project. We began in early June with 300 (1 1/2 - 2 inch) HSB. Just out of curiosity my wife and I ventured down to the grow-out pond to see how the 'hybrids" were doing. We used fathead minnows for bait and caught 5.5 - 6 inch fish every cast. The wife loved how easy it was to catch these fish. Kind of reminded her of our old trout pond days. I can't believe the growth we have achieved on these fish in only 2 months!
The fish have been primarily on their own for feed except for the past 2 weeks. We started supplemental feeding with aqua max and have had some activity on the feedings. I am really impressed with these fish! Pictures are of Tamara's fish and fishing. Also included a pic of our handy ranch "Club Car".

We will be transferring these fish to our y. perch pond sometime in Sept or Oct.

I can't wait to get ahold of some of Bruce's "SUPER hybrids!
