In the interests of keeping this thread on track, i.e. on evaluating the facts of the performance of the GG, thought I would try a little test this weekend.
One of the characteristics that interested me in GG's was there reported aggressive tendencies. I don't need to wait a year to test that characteristic. I'm fond of a 10 cast test which I have used to measure comparative performance of LMB, F1 vs Florida. I'm going to try the 10 cast test this weekend on three ponds. One has coppernosed BG, another native BG and the third has the GG's...all at the same temperature. I'll report results Monday or so, if there are any to report. I'm guessing that the number of strikes and catches will be low in all three ponds, but the GG pond will have higher results. I'm basing that guess on observed fish feeding patterns since stocking the GG's.
