Cecil, I actually took this fish in for a state record pumkinseed application, it would have beat or tied our state record. Our G & P biologist actually took to it to one of our University of NE fisheries biologists for examination of the gill rakers. I was told it was likely a male GSF x female BG based on the gill rakers. The other possibilty is that that the male GSF that got loose in our pond was actually a hybrid itself, the lack of tinting on the fins is unusual. I do know the nieghbors hired hand was aquiring his bait 3/4 of a mile below our pond in a small creek.
Theo, only one batch of hybrids was ever produced to my knowledge and they all looked like this.
