Russ,
Glad to hear there are no hard feelings.
One other thing to add about feed training that I've learned: Grade cannibalistic fish well and grade often! Even though I graded into two groups the 700 plus smallmouth fingerlings I started out with ended up being 123! Beautiful young of year fish with some in the 7 to 8 inch range but not a lot of them!
Next year I will be producing two or three times more and feed training them in 55 gallon drums! At least three gradings many four.
