so what problems do F1 bass have down the line? Is it just lowered potential to be giants (10+)? Or is it reproduction and lowered health of the fish? I see it get said a lot, but no one with any quantitative data about what the "depression" is. Are these fish worse off than native bass in growth potential and health?

I ask because our 2 acre pond has F1's, but we really don't care about getting any fish over even 6. We just want the fish to be easy for the kid's to catch and have fun with.
