Dave, I agreee completely. I stocked my one old pond last year with 250 3-5"BG, 150 2' RES, and about 75 RES from 7-12" from another lake. I loaded it up with 10 lb of FHM, then this spring another 10 lb. YESTERDAY, I put in 10 LMB from another lake that were from 9-12" long. They should have PLENTY to eat along with thousands of tadpoles and small frogs in my pond.
This fall, I'll get another 10-15 LMB in the 10-12" category and see what the spring brings. I also did something I said I wouldn't do. BUT, I put in 5 crappie (all five were males). If I keep adding crappie a couple at a time till I get about 50 in there and their all males, I should be able to catch some decent crappie in a couple years.
Did I make a mistake???
