I will be picking up 40 5-8" LMB later this week that are supposed to be pellet trained...
When I get them home to the pond, what do I do with them?..
Just throw them in the pond and hope for the best?..
Do I want to try to introduce them to the area I feed?...
Do I want them eating pellets or targeting the BG they are supposed to be keeping in check?...
Surely the don't need to caged if there are no other predators in the pond? correct?..

No habituation needed in your case. Let them go where you feed. You can't control all the variables. Put them in and let them rip.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

My LMB follow me around the pond and occasionally going after minnows along the shore. If I turn around, they do the same.
