Some more hybrid pictures. At times I second guess myself if they are actually hybrids or just natural variations of GSF. Then I catch an honest to goodness GSF and the difference becomes evident.

It just so happened I caught a HBG today in my old refurbished pond that I questioned. Thought it was a hybrid, but just was not sure. It happened to jump off the hook and land in the grass so I just left it there. Then the next cast I caught a GSF the same size. It gave me the opportunity to snap the pictures below showing the comparison. Once I had a real GSF to compare, the hybrid became evident.

These are small fish, only 4 or 5 inches long. And I am going to call this hybrid a BGxGSF or in other words a HBG.
