Speaking of going full circle. Lets not forget the reason we stock F1s in small southern ponds. I am hoping that between selective harvest of inferior fish, original stockers doing the same by foraging on subsequent generations and maintaining a poundage of fish that can be supported by the pond, that I have made a wise decision.
If not, I can always stock a couple of flatheads.

edit: I do think this could be valuable information for hatcheries to consider.
