Need some help on fish growth and size. I stocked my pond in southern LA in early March with LMB, BG, and Shellcrackers and just caught and released 3 bass to see how they are doing. I caught (11 3/4” - 13 oz.) and (11 1/4” - 9 oz.) and (11” - 8 oz.). How is this for just over 8 months of growing with a feeder that is throwing enough feed for them to eat in a couple of minutes twice a day? Ive been told that these rates are low and that my LMB probably decimated the BG because they were stocked together as fingerlings. I have not caught any BG so no idea what size they are. Any ideas on steps to take would be greatly appreciated.
