Around here pure GS are indiginous to almost any stangnant waterway or watershed. Most times when ponds are first filled the ponds will immediately become infested with GS which will have moderate numbers and excellent body condition for a couple of years until the lack of predators allows stunting. After bluegill are introduced you get about five years where hybrids are reasonably common, but wouldn't ever consititute a majority of individuals. Then if bass are introduced the GS are gradually eradicated and become quite rare. It would be interesting to know is this pond has another stocked pond above it. You're right of course about hybrids being common, but I'm getting an indication here that the fish caught all looked alike.
I'm still betting pure GS but my goal for 2005 is to get where I'm wrong less than 50% of the time.
