Growing nicely. That first one is in especially good condition.

He was a little thin but seemed to have good body formation. I think maybe he has been working a spawn so probably not much time to feed, he went back. The others are going to be eaten in about an hour from now.

Looks like the first one is a pure BG and the rest of HBG.

BG and 4 HBG. No. 4 & 5 fish are different - more GSFish.

I was thinking the last 2 fish were GSF. These were in the pond when I stocked it (I did not know at the time), but found them when we started fishing the pond.
What makes you think they are HBG and not GSF, if this is the case maybe these were the fish I was sold.

Looks like one of those HBG may be a female.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

The middle one looks to be a female HBG. The far left two could be pure GSF or higher % GSF genetics in a hybrid.

Well the center was a female HBG, as it was full of eggs when I cleaned it up. I think the last two pics are GSF as we catch many of these all around here and we call them Black Perch. Great Flathead bait.
Now I guess they could be some sort of HBG.
The numbers have sure dropped since my LMB have grown and now spawned so who knows how many are left in the pond.
I wanted to move some to a shallow pond we have to just raise as bait but now since we have almost eliminated them from this pond that may not be an option.
