Don't you have concern for a biomass overload? If the goal is to produce trophy bass, something has to give... A pond can only support a certain number of pounds of bass. Right now when his bass are small, you can get away with overcrowding and fixing it with putting more food in. As they grow, the biomass issue will rear its ugly head again... Most likely through a fish kill or he will simply hit a wall, well short of his trophy bass goal.
