The LMB were about 3-3-1/2" when stocked. I caught a few in late Fall and they were about 5-6". I'm going by memory though but seems like they grew a lot after cleaning out those loads of FHM. The only things stocked initially were LMB and FHM. There is no way I can start over for many reasons..especially since the pond was completed in Aug 2016 and it still has another foot or so to fill because 3/4 of it is all Dam.

My county has their annual fish sale late April. The HBG sizes are 2-4" At the time when I questioned my supplier he said that he has been in business for 15 years and never had a complaint. Maybe this will be his first.

Jack of all trades but master of none.
