I put a few pounds of GSH in our lake this spring and now we have an enormous population. I read somewhere that 1 female lays like 125,000 eggs per season. They try to say that the price per fish is such a great deal, I just don't see it. A couple dozen decent size GSH should easily make 250,000 fry the first year without predators. I am amazed at numbers of minnows that have been produced in our lake in just 1 spring/summer. Next year will be ridiculous. If I am patient enough to wait three years, the FHM and GSH might black out the sun.



Thanks for the response Jackeroo on the bulk GSH.
Looks like raising my own GSH (as planned) is a good direction.
