Yep...Apparently Georgia Giants grow on the same farm that has a population of "Hogzillas", or mythically sized feral hogs. Type in keyword "Hogzilla" and you'll be treated with all sorts of entertainment concerning monstrous feral hogs that happen to inhabit the same farm as the Georgia Giant.
That photo is my screen saver. Gotta admit, it's a nice fish. I just don't think it's a hybrid. I think it's a purebred redear that happened to be the only fella of his type in a pond that had lots of snails. The website claims the pond had been stocked "twenty years previously" with this special breed of hybrid. Any biologist who's aged fish in Georgia I'll betcha hasn't found a sunfish scale with twenty rings on it.
Whatever....Next time I'm in Georgia I'll try to pull off the legendary double. Catch a five-pound Georgia Giant and shoot a 1,200 pound feral hog in the same day. Can't wait.
