This picture of a georgia giant posted by ML looks nothing like the pic on Ken's website. The fish looks more like the basic green sunfish/bluegill cross, possibly back-crossed to a parental bluegill. I don't see any redear in ML's pic, but do see redear characteristics in the pic on Ken's website.
Everyone knows what a traditional hybrid bluegill is, and a tigre bass, and a grass carp, and the procedures used to produce these fish are disclosed. It is in the best interest of a hatchery to disclose this type of information unless there is something to hide in order to increase sales. I would want to know before I purchased the fish....WHAT ARE THEY? What will they revert to if/when they spawn.
With this in mind...I thank ML for being the guinnea pig. I'll be waiting for a picture of his fish when they if/when they are 1#+.....
