Cav03,
The best I could tell they've grown at least an inch or better in about a month. That's approx a gain of 25-30% in size. I stocked 53, but have only seen 2 since the stocking. I'm not worried about their survival. The only thing big enough to eat them might be a 7 1/2" CNBG, but there is too much other slower docile bait in the water. The CNBG eat all the feed they want anyway. I've got as closed to 20% structure as I can calculate, so there are many places for all to hide. They're too mean to eat anyway. I may lose a few, but I stocked a few extra just in case. Good luck and tell me about your progress.
