snrub, In the past 4 yrs I have ladder stocked 80 with most of them being 10" in size in my 3+ acre pond. I feel like I have around 40 to 50 today. It's difficult to know exact numbers. And when you go fishing you will most likely catch a couple each trip. They grow pretty fast and like George Glazner once said "if they would jump like an lmb then no one would stock lmb but just hsb". The numbers are based on what I see around the feeders and when I hand feed. At my pond the hsb will for the most part will hang out near the deeper water but they will also move into the 2 to 4' shallows to feed on the shad. Hope this helps you out on the numbers.
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
