The advantage of HBG is that spawn very little. The problem with BG in a Texas pond is that they spawn enough to get out of control. The only thing that can keep them under control is largemouth bass. But then nothing keeps bass from over spawning. The normal Texas pond under a couple of acres is loaded with runt bass that are hook shy. We call it bass heavy and they eat all of the bluegills that will fit in their mouths.


That's why I like the idea of HBG and HSB with a feeder. Both of them love pellets and grow well. Your chances of a crash is almost nil if they stocked in the correct numbers and ratio. You will never have runt fish. You and the kids will love catching the BG's and the HSB's.

The whole concept is an in balance pond.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
