Well one reason right off the top of my head why you would want LMB is because you need something in there to help keep your BG population in check or you will have a bunch of small BG in the 4 inch range. You can't catch enough once they start breeding. The bass are an important part of keeing them BG in check so they too can grow to decent size for eating.

Both these fish. BG and LMB kind of go together. Almost a must if you have one you need the other. You won't need to feed your bass they will eat the BG and should be just fine. You just have to figure out how many bass you need to help control your population.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong!

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
