1. My question is will the 6" plus fish reproduce sooner and more fish per spawn and stay ahead as well in size? If this is the case it may be better deal to eat the cost up front.
2. Then another question is which size would have more stress put on it as far as stocking them?
3. Since I do have so many fish in the pond how many per acre should I stock of the 4-6 gills or the 6" plus gills?
4. Or should I just leave it alone?
1. That is why I use the bigger BG in your situation and stock them 2-3 weeks before the first spawn.
2. If stocked correctly that should not matter.
3. A good question that I can't answer as it depends on your ponds population balance. Standard answer for LMB crowdwd ponds is 300-500 per acre if using 3-5 inch fish. That is why I use the blocking net method - less fish purchased then protected and feed for 3 mths. They grow and spawn then the net is removed.
4. That is a possibility.
