I'll just throw in an opinion, but I wouldn't stock HBG unless I absolutely needed to because I just think they're fugly.

I have caught them to about 1.25 lbs out of the pond at the Bush Library when I was at A&M. Also it's like "yah, I caught a big sunfish, but what the hell does it count as?" I feel the same about the guadalupe/smallmouth mutts that you catch out of the guadalupe river. It's almost like a "tainted" fish to me.

I much prefer CNBG if given the opportunity. They are very pretty. Though I still prefer the look of the bluegill strain from the Mississippi River that I caught from the oxbow lakes in NE LA though.

Anyway, that's my opinion on Hybrid bluegill. I understand there are situations where HBG work better than a regular BG though.
