bg have to be close to the top natural food for lmb already. I cannot see why they would have to be trained to eat what they naturally do. I throw hundreds sometimes thousands in different ponds over a season. The bass go into a frenzy. Sometimes boiling and fighting over the bg, two attacking the same fish. A few of my ponds the lmb are just stacked though. I have seen them do the same with crawdads, and even cut chunks of American Shad. As far as feeding by hand, depends how hungry the fish are, and how long you have been around them. I know a few guys that treat them like pets. Never fish for them. They readily hand feed, up to 10 lbers.
