I think I need to find a market for some of my fish in California! Sounds like money is no object to some of those people.
Actually I do have a regular customer there that is an American Airlines pilot that does taxidermy on the side.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Life was good,no,life was great.Here I was,all the beer I could drink,a fishing pole,a lake,a fish stringer on my angle and all the snacks I wanted.I just sat on the dock and fished.Id eat and drink and catnap and fish.It was wonderful. weeks of wonderful bliss. And then it happened somebody pops the balloon.Im not on vacation,Im a prisoner onboard the deathstar.They mixed mind altering substance in my beer and its not a fish stringer but a ball and chain.Its not a lake but a hologram.Then to add insult to injury they dump back on my front lawn right in front of my wife. Then she starts in about all the honeydos I need to complete.And what kind of cheap operation can only pay a lousy hundred bucks to get rid of my sorry butt.And NO,you cant have any beer money.Ah well,at least Ill have the memory that I thought I got 2 weeks off anyway.

Cecil, If you have a tough time finding a GSF, I may be able to sacrifice a couple this spring/summer (provided I can catch the bigger ones). I will let you know how it looks when the weather begins to warm.

Of Darryl's first 3 photos, I think the top fish is a female and the lower 2 fish are male - all GSF. Colors are subdued likely due to winter phase coloration and or water color as variables mentioned by Cecil.
In JAHP's post of DIED's fish it is a male GSF while I think the lower fish of Darryl's is a female. Each photo was very likely taken in a different season - 1st spring - early summer, latter winter. Hi Bill, of the top 3 pics in this thread, can you please elaborate on why you think the top fish is female, and the bottom two are male? also, what leads you to believe my fish is male? that pic was taken in may 07 which is late spring/early summer here. if just going by opercular flap characteristics, i think i understand, but what else are you observing? Thanks, Dave
GSF are people too!

I will let you know how it looks when the weather begins to warm. I may take you up on that. I have a pond I can fish that used to have some big ones but that was a few years ago. Don't tell the GSF lovers but I delivered some bass to that pond that really reduced the GSF!

I caught a couple @ 10" early last season (although I did not have a scale, I would say they were ever so slightly underweight), but I started a feeding program and a tilapia program last year, so their RW should be improving. I'll keep you updated.

Mouth too small for a pure greenie. I know the whole head is small due to rapid growth, but, still, the mouth is small as compared with the rest of the head. GSF (oops) have big mouths.

You may be riiiiight I maaaay be craaaaaazy (Bill Joel) But Burger look how small the fins are in relation to the rest of the body due to rapid growth. (First pics in the thread) Typically when I see that in a fish I also see smaller heads then normal.

But, on the other hand, if those are hybrids after 11 months, whoa! Those are freaks.

There is no one person named Lynyrd Skynrd. It's a band. And it was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2006. Sure ya don't mean Ronnie Van Zant the lead singer?

I have it from a very reliable source that Jethro Tull is good friends with Uriah Heep and Max Webster. Now there's three great musicians!

Did ya know THE ROLLING STONES is the first, middle, and last name of the guy that is the lead singer for the band Mick Jagger? A lot of people don't know that.
