Following up on the Green Sunfish post from earlier this year.....
My new 8 acre pond filled this spring. The Golden Shiner fry I stocked early May are doing incredible. They are hitting the feeders and loving the chow, by the thousands. The water shimmers when they come up. I have stocked about 1000 straight/hybrid/redear BG, many sizes from adult to tiny. Those came from my other ponds. No bass yet.
In early June, My first run to ye ole bait man I bought 10# of what I thought were straight BG. I did not look at them closely. (He is very socially distant, loading them in the truck for me). Well I made the run home got to the pond and started acclamation process. Now I see they were Green Sunfish.
I debated to release them or dump on the bank or take to another pond. I released them. Since releasing I have been second guessing that decision.
Reading above it sounds like everything should be ok? I am planning on American SF bringing F1s in the fall, going with their 6 to 7" size range.
