Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose growth rate of BG -v- HBG

Do HBG actually grow faster than BG?

Scenario in my pond is that I originally stocked regular BG. They were in the 6" range. A few years later ( 3? ) I threw in some HBG at a smaller size, about 3-4". They have grown to a pound with some pushing 1.5 pounds, probably in two/three years. I have never caught a regular BG at a pound. Maybe a few pushing it, but not like the HBG. Seems odd to me.
