CoachB my pond is the same size and a year ahead of yours. I stocked about 30 LMB and a few more BG and YP than you did.
My biggest LMB is 15" with a few 14's and a bunch of 12's all nice and fat. I have had too spawns of LMB but my other bass and pike have done a good job of keeping them under control. I have an abundance of 5" BG right now, too small to eat but big enough to make babies. My original BG are 9-10" now. I would like to cull some BG soon, and from now on every skinny bass I catch (which is very rare) comes out
