A pain?  Those Redear girls will go out with anybody.

He looks really solid.  Like he's not missed many meals.  TJ and I are trying to pull this off in one of his ponds.  It's a pain in the butt, but well worth it if you can get the result.  Good job.

I don't think they naturally cross any more or less often than any other Lepomids.  But mine come from a rather unnatural setting,  a small pond with a breeding population of Redears where the only Bluegills are 40-some big males.

 

Bruce, I have seen them taking pellets all along the shore of the area I feed in since last Summer.  This year I set up a safe haven for them, a half dozen small branches in one spot, where about 50 of them clean up a cup of Aquamax 500 every night.  I'm saving the hybrids who eat there for harvest later in the year - this one is one of the incidental feeders from another spot.

awesome!  We dont have red ears here in MN.  Do red ears and bluegill commonly breed together?  Forsure we have green sunfish and bluegills crossing all the time here along with pumpkinseeds.

Incredibly cool! Will he eat pellets?
