Ah heck, guys. I don't really know! I can only guess.
When I first read Rowly's post, I thought maybe there was something to the largemouths being inactive under the ice. They certainly are slower than most fish under the ice, although they certainly still do feed. However, a 4-5 inch walleye is darn small, and as already indicated, they won't grow much before the largemouths "warm up." The only possibility would be if the small walleyes are in the pond long enough to learn the habitat and perhaps be able to hide better?? However, largemouths can really get those small walleyes
Overall, I guess I have to agree with Cecil and Bill and admit to being a little skeptical. I do like Bill's idea of perhaps rearing them to a larger size. I'll bet you could easily get them to 12 inches by fall if they have some food (fatheads).
