I am needing some feedback regarding my growth rates of my LMB. Stocked 50 Native and 50 Florida in my 1.5 acre (avg. depth of 8 feet.) pond. The fish were stocked in June 2009 and were lengths of 1.5-2.0". I stocked 750 BG in Sept. 2008. All in all, I'm happy with the pond. I have had no fish kills and have witnessed many spawning BG. My LMB grew alot from June to Sept. 2009, but it seems like they have slowed way down. I am catching fish that average 8" with an ocassional 10" fish. They seem healthy and they eat aggressively, but they don't seem to be growing like I would have expected.
