Pictures of three fish below. At first I thought the first two I caught were likely GSF, but the mouth did not look big enough. Caught the third one and it looked more hybrid but with the same mouth gape. So I finally decided they were all hybrids. Likely ones I caught out of my main pond and transfered to the old pond where I have native GSF. I really have trouble identifying hybrids until I catch a full GSF, then the GSF is obvious. I've only caught a few larger GSF out of this pond (6") but tons and tons of 4" ones.

Fish one 7" with 7/8" mouth gape Picture 1
Fish two 7" with 7/8" mouth gape pictures 2 and 3
Fish three 7 1/4" with 7/8" mouth gape. picture 4

All three fish together picture 5

Sorry about the dirt on the fish in the 5th picture, but the subjects were not being cooperative for the group photo. They all went back into the pond.

Also sorry, no 10" fish. Really sorry.
