Nice job of raising HBG and a young girl that is not afraid of those teeth on a HSB. aka Pond Doctor & Dr. Perca Read Pond Boss Magazine - America's Journal of Pond Management

A few at 7" but a lot at the size you are catching. One point of order. I think when you say the fish are one year old, you really mean one year from stocking the fingerlings. The fish are likely.............. two years old?????? Maybe the experts will chime to correct me if I am wrong. But we knew what you meant. Last edited by snrub; 07/29/14 09:30 PM.

It took me awhile to convince her to hold them but she does it all the time now. She is 3 and half years old. Snrub Yes I agree I stocked them a year ago and they were 1 to 2 inch so yep probably about 2 years of age.

This sounds like a very good project for the active members of pondboss forum. We could all start taking measurements and weights for HBG (bluegill x green sunfish) to create our own standard weight table. This is how the standard weights were originally determined for most of the fish species. Hundreds or thousands of fish were collected and the measurements of length and weight were taken usually during research projects. Then determine average for each size category was calculated. Get your fish poles out, get a ruler and a food or postal scales, collect some bait and go fishing. Get your kids to help as a family project. Report back here with your results. There are members that will gladly tabulate the data. Here are the first lengths & weights(ave) from the book (K.D. Carlander). Total Lgn Weight inches(mm) ounces (grams) 4.8 (124mm) 1.38 (41g) 5.3 (135mm) 2.0 (59g) 8.58(218mm) 11.3 (336g) For the chart. Caught this weekend. Unfed 1/2 acre pond. 10.25" 15oz

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

I really do suk at identifying unless real obvious! Would you like to see some of these fish, along with their stats, or do you just want GSFxBG hybrid data here? I have to be honest I have a real weakness for those hybrids with PS genes in them. Gorgeous fish especially in the peat stained ponds!*

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!" If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Also caught 3 BG, 1 RES and 2 LMB I'm more like a pond servant.
