With 72 adult BG in the new pond he can afford to loose a few (6-10) to hooking mortality and still have plenty for spawning next spring. It is also likely that he will have a BG spawn in August this year. Watch for fry in shallow water during early - mid Sept. Begin searching for fingerling LMB you may need them this fall or next spring.
