You are spot on Eric. Yes the hybrids have advantages, are agressive with feed, and have a niche. But since there are so many suppliers out that have it in their customers heads hybrids are superior in every way I thought i would post this.
Ironicially in my region hybrids are pushed so hard by suppliers it's tough to find regular bluegills. I had a local supplier tell me no one wants regular bluegills. I asked him why my phone rings off the hook with people asking where to find regular bluegills. He couldn't answer me.
