I'll try that next year. It will be fun to see how big the perch are as well. A large RES would fun too. I was looking for SMB growth rate assuming no shortage of forage fish. I also have papershell crayfish in there and had added a dozen 3" LCS awhile back but do not know if they survived. I was thinking 3 years for 4" SMB to reach 18" if food was plentiful, but maybe 4 years? I do have rock piles in 2-5 feet of water. I posted pictures of them here on a thread before the pond filled.
