Deb,

As I stated earlier I do have GG in one of my ponds. I have sat back on the sidelines on these recent forums and observed. What boggles my mind is the lack of photos. I will have photos to post here next spring of my GG. If they are impressive as said to be I just cannot understand why you would not have recent photos? Mine are outgrowing my natives by large proportions to this point. But mind you so do standard HB that I have in another pond. To date my GG have grown (since spring) 2X the rate of my natives minimum. What I have been waiting for is photos from you or your customers that back up the ideas that the growth does not slow as they age. Yearly photos would be extremely helpful. I am hoping for the best with my GG but am now second guessing the decision on the purchase do to the lack of customer or fishery evidence to support your claims.

Please if possible visit one of your ponds with a camera or do a feild check on one of your customers ponds with proof of age. As you stated earlier your business includes pond maintenance. I personnaly like to see fish conditions as part of a management plan photos or live. Records are made along with the photos and age.

My hope is to have a good healthy and large fish population for years to come. I chose the GG for this particular pond to test the waters with them. With no GS as a degenerative drawback it would seem to many as a great route to explore for those that wish to have a trophy fishery for panfish. Here in the north there are just as many panfish ponds as bass ponds. Your bream sales would explode if you had factual information to pass on to others.

I am not writing to bash your company or you in any way. I just need information preferably photos to set it straight for me. I would love to see these fish progress as you have stated in your past post. If they do I will have new photos down the road for you to show off. Until them I would like to show people that this is what I have in this pond and here is documentation and photos of what to expect.

Thanks for the time you have spent thus far answering what you can here over the past several weeks. PLEASE find a way to get some recent photos so we can all say that you are right. Until them.....


Just another 1 acre hole in the ground...........with fish !!!
