SSJ,
Sounds like you are on the right track.
The pond carrying capacity calculations are usually based on the POUNDS of predator and forage fish.
A 12" LMB is usually around 0.8#. A 24" LMB is around 7.9#. The large girl is equal to TEN 12" LMB.
The differences are much more disparate for BG. One 12" LMB would weigh about the same as a thousand small BG (of a certain length).
You are usually safe on your capacity when you have small fish and a fair amount of predators. However, you can exceed your carrying capacity when you have a fair number of large and medium bass and a large number of large and medium BG.
At that point you better be sampling and culling. (Although I believe some culling is part of your plan.
)
