I think so too Dave. I think they are really pretty fish.
And they are much, MUCH easier to catch than RES.
Bob talked like the RESxGSF crosses are mostly male and the reciprocal GSFxRES cross eggs are not very viable (or I could have got those reversed) so along with the SMB predation in this pond I am not really worried too much about any reproduction and if I keep every one I catch they are unlikely to spoil my plans for my RES/SMB pond.
I do transfer them to my old pond a hundred feet away though because I really do like the hybrid.
At my PBF get together a couple guys caught a bunch of my HBG and put them in my holding pen for me. Carolynn and I filleted them the next day. The hybrids, be it HBG or the RESxGSF cross grow fast, fillet out nice and are fun and easy to catch. I really like them a lot.
For purists or trophy hunters they are probably a dirty word. But for a poor angler with a mutt pond, I get along fine with them.
