So now we have a pond with XL lmb feeding on BG and Crappie but little to no reproduction of lmb. So to improve the numbers of XL LMB you (me) could grow out lmb to 14" in the forage pond and then release them to the bigger pond that is overstocked with crappie in the 4 to 5" size. What say you, just thinking out loud. Any takers here on that situation?

This (XL LMB pond) sounds like an almost foolproof plan to me. The requirements are keeping enough forage in the main pond to sustain the BG and crappie and continually stocking enough 14� LMB to provide the desired trophy fishing. This pond is not designed to ever be in balance. The forage/stocker pond presents the bigger challenge. It will be a more typical BG LMB pond � self sustaining and producing an adequate number of 14� bass. [Hope I figured out how the quote thing works.]
