That is just a pure guess, but after reading the article about 3 way crosses, it seems that would marry some good characteristics of the three fish. Seems the three way crosses performed just fine.

I would like to get the size of the RES with the aggressiveness of the GSF. Basically have a redear that is easy to catch.

I have been reading some on hybrids as well. Not near as much as you though I'm sure. One thing that jumps out at me is the cross really only works well in one direction. By that I mean for example BG x GSF requires a male BG and a female GSF. Female BG and a male GSF doesn't work very well. Seems that is the case with every hybrid cross I have read about. Have you read anything where both ways work? If no, any idea why it only works one way?
