Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain I want Big Fat Bluegill

Yes , possibly but only for a short period, and yes but at lower rates than either parental. HBG are anywhere from 66% to 98% males ( the 66% rate is from a possibly skewed study) most report in the 90% + range. I believe that a male only BG pond will exhibit equal or greater growth rates and bigger fish than a HBG pond all other factors being equal.
