I like a bass-heavy BG pond and stocked a 2:1 BG:LMB ratio myself (with another :1 of RES), but I think that's a few more LMB than is needed to start with for big BG management (maybe 500:200?). It's way, way too many if managing for big bass - those guys would be talking a 10:1 ratio.

What are your interests & goals for management?
