Cecil, I have heard zilch on whether or not HBCP have hybrid vigor and out pace the parents. That makes me think that the F1 HBCP are similar in size and growth to that of the parents.

The only reason the sole producer of HBCP does it, is the inferior offspring that allows LMB and other apex predators to maintain population controls on offspring.

I am picking up HBCP Tomorrow, winding my way around Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee then Finally to CMM before heading home. Walleye, HBCP, SMB, HSB and HBG are the current fish on the menu.
