I think the only real issue I see with GSF is in a SMB pond. They are brutal on SMB fry and really hamper their natural reproduction. If anything, a few LMB fry getting eaten by them aint bad cause as we all know most ponds end up with a bass heavy population. In my new pond I am going to stock male only GSF. I am going to give DIED and JHAP a run for their money in the trophy GSF market!
