Thanks Bill, upthread you corrected my thought that it was a RES by telling me it was a HBG...I'm still learning all this stuff and the red halo on the ear flap of the first pic confused me. I meant to take the RES thing out of what I quoted today and just leave the time since stocking there...messed that up.

I stocked 100 RES, 100 HBG and 200 BG (all 3") on 14 March.

As a novice, the growth of these fish seems flat phenomenal to me; I caught probably 3 HBG and 4 maybe 5 BG today and the BG aren't quite as big as the hybrids but are still quite healthy. The Optimal Junior was definitely money well spent...
