Jason, there are 2 versions of HSB...one grows huge at 40+ pounds and is stocked in large lakes/reservoirs
. the one you'll get top out around 10 pounds with 3-6 pounders being fairly normal. You could probably add 100 or more HSB and not "ruin" your pond, whatever that person meant. HSB have a fairly small mouth gape, so they won't compete much with your larger LMB's mouth and forage size eaten.

EDIT: Thanks George, on your correction below this post. I confused the straight Striped Bass for topping 40 pounds with the Palmetto cross.
