Google Georgia Giant.
I think the problem is they can't reproduce, so you have to keep buying them as you deplete them.
Sort of like Monsanto does with seeds.
ETA.... I think they do reproduce, but with each generation they lose some of their size genes and become more like regular bluegill, just like F-1 bass. They breed themselves back to normal over time if you don't cull them regularly and restock according to the recommended management plan.
ETA #2- If you have catfish in your pond or a decent bass population, don't waste your money. Against the recommendation of the stocker, my friend's family in Sandy Cross stocked a bunch of GA Giants in their catfish ponds, and set up fish pens to protect them from the catfish until they got bigger... the catfish literally tore the pens apart like Jaws on a shark cage and ate every last one of the little frickers. True story.
