Mark, I have no question that hybrid sunfish can perform well if they have a good healthy start. I've seen it a hundred times. If you take a bluegill/green sunfish hybrid, and put it in a good pond with good water they'll take off like wildfire. It was never the fish I was disappointed in. It was the people who promised something to a customer, then backed out. Remember, the customer service rep for Ken's accused me of making the story up, even though I have the PM's and emails to prove her otherwise.

Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
