Everything sounds completely normal right now including growth rates, agressiveness, etc. Keep in mind, Edward, that for every six incher, you've got 4 or 5, 3-3.5 inchers that you're not seeing that aren't agressive to the offering. Eventually you will probably want to cull those. You'll figure out ways of catching them by next year.
So far, so good on my fish. One of the keys to separating super-growers from normal hybrids is to slightly under feed the fish. I'm maybe only feeding 75% of what I could for now. The bigger, more agressive hybrids are 5.5-7 inches and the little guys are all about 3.5 right now for me. Assuming no dieoffs, I'll have some really good fish available in 4-8 weeks. Also, when people come to pick up fish I take them off feed for 48 hours before hand so they are not actively producing waste during transport.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
