big_pond,

Have you been reading Deb's posts? GG's are not recommended together with any other BG. Perhaps you are still thinking of them as part of a standard bass/BG system. They are not sold for that, as I have read Deb's posts. They are an end themselves.....meaning they are not stocked to help establish a standard bass pond; they are stocked to be raised, caught, and consumed themselves for their own value, not the value of any offspring which in fact need to be eliminated. They would be an extremely poor choice to stock as part of a forage base for LMB.

They haved a limited application and part of a large pond with diverse fish population is not a good application...at least in my limited understanding from reading what Deb has had to say. I'm sure she will correct me if I'm wrong.
