What do you want out of this pond? Is it strictly table fare you're after? You mentioned you thought you had a catfish when you hooked these guys, what other species are present?

HBG are most often declared to revert back to GSF. This is impossible from a purely scientific standpoint, but in a practical, real world scenario GSF is probably a good a description as any.

Following conventional wisdom, there's no point retaining the F1's for genetic purposes, so If my goal was food, I would harvest them when they reached a size I considered acceptable. If you received more of these than you did BG, you may find yourself short on forage, IF you were counting on forage to sustain another species.


"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.
