CC, I doubt that they are CNBG x GSF crosses due to the cold intolerance of the CNBG. I'd put $$ on them being Northern BG x GSF crosses.

To this Yankee who is an honorary Texan (according to George G.) CNBG *usually* have a more round (vertically) shape, *usually* have more vertical bars, but the biggest positive ID for me in mature fish is the gold band on the top of their head right behind the eyes.
