They taste pretty good, though that is a pretty small one. Been filleting a bunch of them around 9" long. Wife has been canning some along with the BG/GSF hybrids and RES/GSF hybrids. Kind of like canned tuna fish only milder.
They love fish food and grow fast on it. At least mine do. I been culling and filleting them to make more room for my BG. The ones I catch around the feeder always have their bellies packed full of pellets.
Interestingly we noticed when cleaning them they have smaller scales and a more tender skin than a BG. Easier when striping the fillet off the skin to tear the GSF skin. A little finer texture meat than a BG. I love the hybrids though. They eat pellets like hogs, get big, produce lots of meat and if nothing else is biting the GSF and hybrids will nearly always oblige. When I start fishing for BG I nearly always catch a few GSF and GSF hybrids first. Then when I get a few of them cleared out of the way the BG start getting a chance at the bait.
