Also the pic is upside down through the link.. Last edited by Bluegillerkiller; 09/01/12 08:09 PM. I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Kinda looks like a mutt. Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.

It's normal for me...lol I did catch a few pumpkinseeds a few years ago, I wonder if that's the mutt part Here is a picture of all the fish I caught. I hope this one isn't upside down? The original 3 fish from the first picture are mixed in with this picture. Attached Images

GSF x BG...heavy on the GSF. "Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!" If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

If the middle fish isn't PSxBG, then I'd vote for RESxPS www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

Top pic as it appears Top pic -Mostly BG Mid pic - Mostly PS possible BG genes Bottom pic HBG ( BG x GSF) Groupe pic - mostly mutts with some HBG some PS and some BG and GSF genes. FYI PS PS PS X GSF PS X BG GSF X BG = HBG Last edited by ewest; 09/02/12 08:55 AM.
