Very interesting, particularly the part on water fleas.

Just be sure, I was implying that fish forage, in natural settings, if in sufficient supply, can grow LMB much faster than feed or invertebrate prey. Now this might be wrong as I've gleaned it from other's experience and studying other's research.

I would like to see more research on how hatchery feeding practices affect long term feeding behavior. I would think a 2lb bass is relatively dependent on feed if it were raised primarily on feed. It would be interesting to know how long it may take for one to make the transition to foraging BG.
