Jeff, I caught my first LMB more than 75 years ago and fished for them until I discovered striped bass.
I fished for striped bass for more that 20 years on Lake Texoma, sometimes as many as 100+ days a year.
Stripers ruined me for fishing for LMB.

When we built �our� ponds my goal was HSB, and Bruce has helped me achieve this goal � he�s the expert.

Knowing what I know today about the over-population and hook shy issues of LMB, I would not stock them at all.
I am not endowed with the patience that you and ML have, to fish on a limited or restrictive basis.

My opinion only \:\)



N.E. Texas 2 acre and 1/4 acre ponds
