Bryan, I have often heard that Hybrids can and will spawn and will revert to Green Sunfish. I once had a small pond full of them and they certainly spawned along with the bluegill. I see no reason to have them. Over a long time, 10 years or so, there was no growth difference. Both got huge.

I can see no reason why a bass or catfish or anything else would pass up a green sunfish in favor of anything else. If they will hit a metal spinner bait or a wood or plastic crank bait, you know they are opportunity feeders. Sounds like a lot of BS to me.
