I kept (20)+ LMB in a 1/4 acre pond, with the average weight of the LMB between 3-4 lbs.

I was also feeding heavily.

Without artificial feed, I think you would not see such great growth rates.

Keep in mind that the artificial feed is also for the bluegill.....the healthier they are, the stronger their spawns.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
