My sense of GSF and hybrids of them is that they are not as efficient at foraging zooplankton (which even harvest size BG are). They prefer the larger kinds of forage like FHM, YOY fry, Gambusia, crayfish, larger aquatic insects, etc. If these are plentiful, they will grow much better. I can see where they would need feed more so than BG which can feed at lower trophic levels than GSF and their hybrids.
One thing I notice about BG is that they will approach a fly, inspect it, at which point they will either suck it in or move on. A green sunfish or hybrid just attacks them. They can also be caught repeatedly.
