Pardon me for making things even more complicated, but for southern ponds, what about CNBG v HBG? I know CNBG are reputed to be more aggressive and possibly outgrow BG in warmer waters...
And I must admit that the HBG sound really good for a pond for kids. Maybe someday I'll build a smaller BOW and stock it with them, a few F1 female bass, and HSB. Could be fun!
PS Oh, all right. Having panfish grow over a pound that don't get hook shy interests ME as well as the kids!
