I have to agree with Bill here. I bought a pond 4 years ago and it already had LMB in it. A bunch of 12 inch and under. I caught as many of those as I could and then put in 250 CNBG in the 2 inch range! Haha that was a joke! Needless to say they didn't last! I still had LMB in there and they ate 95 percent of them up. Plus I didn't have any decent habitat in the water either. I LOVE LMB too and I wanted some nice bass so I then turned around and bought 100 6 inch plus CNBG well they made it and started spawning and then I put in a few other LMB Florida strain to mix things up a little. Well I now have some nice 3 pound bass about 17 inches but it's taken 4 years just to get that! Why? Because I did it backwards. Course my goal was not to have 8+ pound bass either. I am just fine with 3 to 4 pound bass so it kind of worked out for me in the end, but it's taken a long time and I will never have 8 pound bass let alone 10.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
