If you want the LMB to grow bigger faster reduce the 100 stockers to 55-70 and you will see 20-30% more LMB growth of those first set of LMB compared to stocking 100. If LMB more numbers of LMB are a goal then stock the 100. The original LMB stockers will grow fast until the first year class of hatched bass grow to 6"- 8" then the pond may start running low on small fish limiting fish LMB growth.
