In a similar boat with "new" LMB. We stocked a little earlier, May 31 with 2", and the LMB have been tracking 1.68mm per day on avg. I hear they can grow between 1-2mm per day, some of that is probably food based.
59days x 1.68mm = 99.12mm
99.12mm / 25.4 (mm per inch) = 3.9" growth since June 28, 2024.
If you are having similar growth to what we are seeing I'd guess 4-6".
On a side note, the only reason why we have seen the LMB is we broke out the fishing pole to do a little sampling (wanted to measure growth and get some baseline RW's). We're letting them forget about the little Mepps silver spinner with a white tail in the hopes that they will continue to eat everything in the pond they can fit in there small and growing mouths.
