Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Georgia Giants

Georgia Giant is a marketing moniker. The fish is a cross between female green sunfish and male bluegill. In Texas, these fish will approach one pound. 90-95% are males, the rest are females with limited viability of their eggs. They can't cross with each other, but will reproduce with other species of sunfish, thus yielding an inferior Fx cross. Marketers claim the fish will grow up to 2.5 to 5 pounds. That's a lie. There may have been one freak fish grow to five pounds, but expect yours to be as large as a pound. Stocked with catfish, hybrids may be a good choice. But, count them out as forage for bass.
