hmmm... I will have to try and impact local stocking efforts when I get some park administrators ear in creating the best kids' managed pond fishing in the state... Count me in as interested...

Fish Playboy?! LOL Surely they make me salivated and drooled. Bring a few tankers of those boys over here, and us caretakers will surely watch over them to ensure maximum thriving..but..that's just on our wish list. Like DFG is going to allow that. We may have to sneak in and drop a few tankers off without them knowing.

This fish is mostly adapted for northern waters.  It was developed over nine generations of bluegill, in the state of Nebraska.  It has performed extremely well in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas.  I wish somebody would give it a whirl in Texas, or some other southern state.  I'd be interested in the results.

This is like fishing Playboy! Are the "fin" models? WOW.

Do you have a strain for cold weather or will this one perform better than the Zone 5  fish as it is??

My goodness. 2 years of age, and that's how big they get? Mind sending a full tanker load of those over here? LOL

I say we FILLET the little one and let the bottom one go!!!!!!!   :-)

Wow, they look great!  Small eyes, and little tails on a huge body... just what you want to see!  I love how the body on the 2 year old fish stays "rectangular" all the way to near the tail, no gradual tapering down, just an abrupt transition. That fish has a lot of body mass.
