I don't recall ever seeing a Wr chart for GSF. Be interesting to compare, though.

This thread, and a few very similar ones posted recently, only serve to illustrate just how confusing the world of lepomis crosses can be. Trying to arrive at an accurate pedigree from a few online photos is tough. Adding in the fact that different folks see different things in the same photo, allowing for geography, age of the fish, water clarity where the fish was caught, time of year, and the natural diversity among individuals of the same species, and the notion of "pure" gets awfully farfetched.

I tend to remember how HBG got such a bad rap in the first place......folks complaining about them "reverting" back to GSF. We know that's scientifically impossible, but if it walks, looks, and quacks like a mallard, am I justified in advertising Peking Duck as the house specialty?

I say eat those GSF looking fish. Maybe with a sweet bean sauce.

"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.
