Just got back to this thread (internet down, grrrrr).
Thanks for the information all three of you. From Bill's remarks, sounds like the guy who sold and delivered me the fish did ok on his recommendation, as I told him I was not after trophies but a good pan fishing pond. 500-100 is what he delivered to me. 500 (per acre) BG in early spring then 100 LMB in very late fall.
I've sure got the BG recruitment now, that is definite. And tons of FHM also. LMB are about 9" a month ago and looked healthy, although I did not weigh any for relative weight.
