Pretty much...and thanks. I understand your comment about customers and data. I've been (and still am \:\) ) a scientist and engineer in my professional life and have absolutely no desire to be a data dog on my ponds...ponds are about fun, for me, not work.

Your response did trigger another question(s):

What are your experiences and/or customer experiences with the reproduction characteristics of the hybrid crappie...just like regular crappie, more, less? Do you see any stunting in successive generations Fx due to genetics?

About my motives (since some like to question those)...I've had only negative experiences with crappie in small ponds, but have seen several posts recently on this Forum from folks who are successful with crappie in small ponds. Mr. Willy's article in particular, peaked my interest. Greg mentioned clients of his that are successful in ponds as small as 3/4 acre. I love crappie and would very much like to have a successful crappie pond...that's my motive. Thanks for your comments.
