Those fish gotta be fake. Plastic ones clear acrylic painted. They are just tooooo picture perfect!
All kidding aside, those are some great looking fish. I can only hope (and feed) that I have something that looks that good coming out of my pond in a couple more years.
Fish are finally starting to feed good here. Have been sluggish and slow to bite a hook. (could be the guy on the other end of the hook )
We did not buy any hybrids, but about five or so of the approximately hundred fish we have caught so far this spring have been obvious hybrids. One that I hope will look like sprkplug's bottom photo in a couple more years. It had the definite yellow tipped fins and larger mouth but only about 6.5" long after being in our pond for a little over a year. Put that one in my daughters pond to finish growing up along with a nice RES/GSF hybrid. If that is not what the latter one is in the picture below, help me out and identify it.
I gotta learn how to hold fish properly for pictures. The fish never wanna cooperate for me.
