We've had our new place about 9 months and started catching these right off the bat. I thought they were BG, but they don't seem to get much bigger. We have LMB, the larger ones seem to be in the 12" range. I stocked some CC about 25 of them in April, those are getting pretty fat. Also put in about 50 HBG off the fish truck that came to town, (i couldn't resist). The HBG that I put in were much darker in color. I've since caught some and they have definitely gained weight, but catching them is few and far between. I also put in 8lbs of Tilapia hoping to control algae.
I dont feed other than on the weekends that we come to the property. The catfish get most of it.
My goal...
I would like to get bigger BG for the dinner table, an occasional LMB and catfish. And Easy fishing for the kids. If these are BG how can I tell if they're stunted? If I'm not catching any much bigger, should I start taking them out and stock more HBG?
