Facts:
Hybrid sunfish are produced when eggs from a female green sunfish are fertilized with milt from a male bluegill... Hybrids have a much larger mouth are very aggressive feeders because of the green sunfish mother. This allows them to compete with the bass for larger prey such as small frogs, fish, and crayfish. Hybrid Bluegill appetite for pelletized feed coupled with their feeding habits make it easy to grow truly monster sunfish.

Spawning Characteristics:
If stocked in the absence of any purebred bluegill, hybrid sunfish reproduction is extremely low, because 98% of all hybrids are male. The hybrid bluegills low reproductive rate makes it a poor choice for ponds unless the stocking objective includes large aggressive bluegill to provide fast action for young eager fishermen.
