George - I'm not sure anyone would have seriously considered HSB before you started promoting them.
Here is a photo from a few years back at Sunil's pond in the wilds of the Appalachian mountains of southern Pennsylvania. This is Sunil and Todd3138, as Todd is bringing in an HSB.
And, here is Todd3138 before releasing Sunil's fish back to fight another day.
I've had mixed success with HSB. One of these days I'll have great success. They are difficult to find in this area. I'd also say that they are as difficult to transport, and maybe more so, than trout. Thus, they are expensive to transport.
Other than that, they are incredible additions to ponds.
