Sunil you are correct I did not follow Kens stocking advice. I agree Ken will load a pond with GG which is far greater than any stocking recommendations we see here. I will say that when I ordered 2000 for a 3.5 acre pond he did not try to push more on me. Ken is one of the most interesting people I have ever spent time with (been to his hatchery three times) but I will be the first to say he is often not customer friendly.
One thing I did is to stock coppernose bream after the GG for more forage for the bass. GG and coppernose turned out to be a great combo. I saw little or no reproduction from the GG.
As I said if you want to talk about Ken fine I can give you the good the bad and the ugly. If we want to educate our selfs on this stocking option leave Ken out of it.
