Thank you for your reply.
There was another member with a blue name that has a nice thread on his pond. I believe his name was Ewest, but I cant be sure. He posted some very nice LMB that were estimated at 9+ pounds on the third year after stocking. While reading his thread I noticed he had a very low stocking rate of LMB in his ten acre pond but he had high BG population from stocking them early.
This pond came to mind today when I was reading an artical written by Lusk. Long story short, a customer had high forage population and low LMB and the BG were eating all the LMB young. The bass had zero recruitment and the customer eventually had to stock more to correct the issue.
This problem seems like a much easier fix than a bass heavy problem, but I still wonder how often this happens.
