Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Warmouth Sunfish

Hybrids I have made involving WM (Warmouth Sunfish). Female parent first in crosses below.

WM x NBG
WM x RES
WM x GSF (Green Sunfish)
WM x PSS (Pumpkinseed Sunfish)
WM x RSS (Red-Spotted Sunfish)
WM X OSF (Orange-Spotted Sunfish)
GSF x WM

None of the hybrids were noted to produce offspring in ponds which I think is most sensitive test. Test involved placing quality adults in ponds devoid of competition at beginning of breeding season in April. No offspring detected the following fall even though fish stocked persisted. Very little sign of nesting detected. The crosses involving NBG and RES commingled with female NBG and RES also failed to produce offspring.
