5-Pound Georgia Giant Hybrid

History of the Georgia Giant Hybrid Bream:

Ken Holyoak, president of Ken's Fish Hatchery and Fish Farm, Inc. in Alapaha Georgia, spent 10 years developing the fastest growing bream in the world. This Hybrid grows 300% faster than regular bream and can grow up to 5 pounds and 3 ½ inches thick. If Ken's plan is followed the Georgia Giant Hybrid Bream will grow as big in six months as most bream will in twenty-four months.

The Georgia Giant is so outstanding that it is registered in the United States Patent Office. Ken's Fish Hatchery and Farms, Inc. is the only producer of the Georgia Giant in the world. The world record Georgia Giant Hybrid Bream was sold to Danny Wright of Coffee County, Georgia, 20 years ago. The fish was caught by Kenneth Carver of Douglas, Georgia.

Millions of these Georgia Giant Hybrid Bream have been stocked in lakes and ponds across the United States.

Yeah, Kevin, I dare say most of states in the US are having the invasive exotic species problem with folks dumping their aquariums (sometimes baitbuckets also get dumped) into fishing waters or escaped exotics from tropical fish farms. Native gamefish species will pay the price in the long run because if cold temperatures don't kill the exotics, they will take over a fishery and destroy the native gamefish when there is no natural predator from their original habitat to keep their numbers in check. The problem is getting worse and its a shame.

I agree, we should follow Australia's example by getting rid of them via Daughterless Genes or natural means KHV, bowfishing etc.
