It's tough to get a good picture cause of the sun glare on the water but the darker fish are lmb and the lighter colored "larger" looking fish are red ear sunfish. Most in the tank are feed trained. There's a couple anemic LMB that obviously arent and will be eaten by the faster growing "lunkers" any day now.

I'll move the lmb into a larger 800 gallon grow out tank when they are big enough to not be food to the other fish in there.

They are only small right now, so that is a no brainer.

How many 5+ pounders will enjoy the confines of your tank?

I think that is toward the question that Cray was after, and what I was referring to as stocking density.
