How large were your fish you stocked?

I know I have lost some recruitment due to the high number of BG and HBG that were initially stocked. This pond was a grow out pond to get fish large enough to stock into other lakes with existing LMB. We are hoping to rebuild our forage population with larger BG.

We do have a new lake (one acre) that is going to be stocked with BG pairs to see how much forage we can create in a growing season. I was told to use 50 pairs of BG. Does that seem like to many?

Also, was planning to put some FHM in this pond as well. This would be a forage base for the larger BG. Does that sound reasonable?
