Here's a photo that was posted on BigBluegill.com last evening, by SoCal member Ledhead. It shows a curious looking Florida strain CNBG. Or does it?

Is there something else in the mix here? A RES influence perhaps? I don't have any experience with these warm water bluegills, and simply don't know what to call this. Female CNBG? Hybrid? I know it looks different from my BG x RES hybrids, but that's all I've got.

Curious markers on this fish. Is that considered scale tipping, together with a small opercular flap?

Almost 11 inches, 1 3/4 pounds.


"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.
