I maybe confused as I am not the sharpest pencil in the box when it comes to growing trophy lmb.


Tracy you're correct, you should keep your larger CNBG for spawners. We stock them at 8" primarily because we have an older pond, and I feel like that #'s safe for the majority of them. I just like my smaller CNBG to slow roll through puberty.
