My BG and HSB do fine in the same pond. I have some HSB that are now 6+ lbs and I still have good population of 2" BG. Once my HSB hit 3 lbs I started feeding AQMX largemouth (3/4-1" pellet). I throw it out about 15 ft from shore first and let the bigger HSB and LMB start on that, then I put about 5 lbs mix of AQMX 500/600 for BG/Tilapia about 2-4 ft from shore. The real key to keep bullying down is to have good quantity.

Thanks,

Darryl
