I gave a few to friends, and then I ended up stocking 800 in a 15 acre lake. I haven't caught one yet out of my large pond. But I do believe I started seeing them appear at the feeder late last summer. My management goals are different than most in that I'm not after large HSB. They're in there in an attempt to reduce the number of carp I have.
That's what I remembered about your plans of reducing the carp. I will say that my hsb will do a number on a 3 to 4" TFS. In fact, I saw them schooling and attacking something yesterday afternoon. Just busting the water surface. And I have seen one choke to death on a cnbg so I know the hsb will eat them also. I would expect some large hsb in the 3 to 6 lb range in the next few years if they are feeding on the carp. I have caught several of mine fishing or dragging a tube jig on bottom. So look out carp
