snrub, I have leaned its not so easy to grow trophy lmb even with great genetics. Eric West did a good write up on stocking some older and larger lmb into lakes and ponds in the last Pond Boss Mag and the study he shared did not make me feel better about stocking larger lmb in my pond. Dam'ed if u do and dam'ed if u don't situation is what I took from his article. Ha! I do have some really nice CNBG
