Maybe the BG are not as abundant as all that. When I do feed I see some come around, maybe a dozen or so, all appear to be 6" or smaller. but nothing like I see on some of these feeding videos were its a frenzy. I know they are not used to being fed pellets and maybe thats why I dont see more of them.

As for the LMB Im no expert but they look healthy to me, not stunted, but not fat either or too skinny. I rarely see small bass (under 7"-8") swimming around. There is quite a bit of vegetation as well maybe 25 - 30%.

The guy we bought the place from is in his 70's. Rarely came to the property and would not surprise me if the last time he stocked it was over 7-8 years ago.

If I put in some OTS CNBG, Im alright if they cross with my BG if it will benefit the genetics and average size overall of our catch. Not looking for trophy CNBG, just dont want to have to catch 15 of em to make a meal, haha.
