Based on those two statements, you probably do not have a overcrowding problem with your LMB yet. If you did have an overcorwding problem then you would probably not be seeing a large size range of BG, you would be seeing BG that are very large or very small with very few mid-range size BG in your pond. Also, when LMB get overcrowded they tend to be very agressive and easily caught, the fact that you have to "work" for them means they probably have plenty of forage to eat at the moment. Granted, this is based on limited information but it looks like things are on track for the moment for a healthy bass population.
