I stocked our pond last July 8th. I stocked 25LMB, 200BG, 50RES, 10#FHM. At that time I did not know about the GSF. I had not thought about it until I had started reading on here. Well I was pretty disappointed about the fact that I had GSF in the pond and had read on a thread here about adding a few larger LMB in the 10" range to start eating on the GSF. So in the fall, around Oct I think, I added 10LMB in the 10" range from my uncles gravel pit. He has very little forage for them so they were skinny. When I say skinny I mean they weren't the fish you see on here. They were probably what you would see in most farm ponds that do not get managed. He doesn't allow anyone to remove any from the gravel pit. Its great for kids I guess because they can catch a bunch of fish, but most are them are skinny if using the RW charts.

I was simply curious if the fish my daughter was catching earlier this summer were the ones I stocked last year, or maybe the YOY of those 10 LMB. I figured they would have spawned this year but I'm not for sure. I haven't posted any pics of LMB. Just a few GSF when I still thought they were BG. lol
