LMB need food that is 1/4 to 1/3 their body length to flourish. A LMB needs 10# of forage to gain 1# in body weight. So, you can see that removing mouths to feed is the quickest way to get larger LMB.

The LMB are eating all the small BG, leaving a lot of food for the "bigger than the LMB can eat" BG to grow fat and happy.

If you want to manage the pond for large BG, you are well on your way.
