Was fishing the main pond tonight with BC, Matt Harris and his son, Sam. Sam caught several YP up to 12", and we managed some SMB up to 12 and some decent BG. Then Matt landed the fish that inspired this post over 6 mos ago...I've been trying for the last few months without success.
Sorry about the photos - a little blurry - still getting used to my new pond camera. It has the gape of a GSF, but the orange opercular tab of a RES or PS. The body of water from which this was caught has no BG but does have a strong RES population. My thought is somehow GSF were introduced and this is a RES/GSF hybrid. Might there also be some BG genetics? As my initial post indicates, I transported and stocked around a dozen of these [Yes, I intentionally introduce GSF genetics into my pond :o] and have been hoping to catch one again to provide the experts for positive ID.
If this is indeed a GSF/RES hybrid, as far as I know this is the only documentation I've been able to find on the forum, or the entire web for that matter. Thanks to Matt for the catch!
Cody, Eric, Dr Willis...any ideas or are these pix too blurry to allow positive ID?
