And this is why I am introducing the feed trained Northern lmb to the pond. Placed an order with Todd Overton day before yesterday. Shorty, I have to agree with you, but at some point, I would think the lmb will catch up and reduce the cnbg numbers. A couple of years ago I learned that feeding cnbg will cause them to grow faster to where the lmb can not eat them due to their size. And then they multiply Last edited by TGW1; 03/30/18 07:02 AM.

Every one I've caught has been fat, relative weight over 100. Yesterday we caught a 17 - 18 incher, though not entirely sure that wasn't a LSL bass from the June 2016 stocking. 7ac 2015 CNBG RES FHM 2016 TP FLMB 2017 NLMB GSH L 2018 TP & 70 HSB PK 2019 TP RBT 2020 TFS TP 25 HSB 250 F1,L,RBT -206 2021 TFS TP GSH L,-312 2022 GSH TP CR TFS RBT -234, 2023 BG TP TFS NLMB, -160
