I have no personal experience growing 8 lb lmb but I am working on it and may see it happen this next spring. Like Dr.Luke, I thought the lmb would take a larger meal when offered. In my pond I thought a 21" lmb would eat a 7" bg, Tp, lmb and an Res because they have to hunt less for food. My personal experience to date is that it will take a pond that is heavily stocked with different sized or aged forage unless there are only a few lmb in the pond.
If I need MORE 4" BG then I could see where feeding my bg may cause them to outgrow the size I need to feed my lmb.
