I'll hopefully know late next March if a minimum of a 30-1 stocking of CNBG with female only LMB can get results like those posted. If Overton's can get their electroshocking boat in my back 1/2 acre pond, I'll know more.
But, the accepted method for trophy LMB is to manage LMB populations via culling, and I truly think that relying a single type of forage to repeatedly get those trophy's can create as many problems as it corrects. CNBG, Tilapia, and crayfish are on the menu in my big puddle.
4 near identical female LMB were transferred to my back 1/2 acre pond in March of 2013. There were no other LMB in that pond. It'll be interesting to see what they've done in 2 years.
