jpsdad is correct as you should see growth that will amaze you. My property is in Tylertown, Ms. I stocked FHM and BG in early March last year (2024) and F1 Tiger bass on July 3, 2024. They were about 3/4 of an inch when I stocked them. By mid September I was catching them between 7-8 inches. This weekend (Mar 1), I caught 1 that went 12 1/2 inches and weighed 1lb1oz.
So, I would think that is your bass had plenty to eat, you should easily catch some between 7-9 inches, maybe bigger. There are 2 baits that I catch the most on. A 1/8 oz "rattletrap" in silver/chrome and Strike King makes what they call a "bitsy" jerk bait, it sinks slow. Both baits I fish on ultralight tackle and you will catch bluegill on them as well (if you are feeding, those should show significant growth as well.)
Lots of luck to you, let us know what you catch.
