Mine are just a bonus fish, and about the 2-3# range. I was thinking It might be better to start keeping and replacing as caught. Then replace what was kept the previous year in the spring. I stocked 50 10-12" in my pond last spring. My thought was 50 of the HSB in 3-6# range may be getting preditor heavy in that size with the LMB. Nice to have a few, but wouldn't want too many big ones?
