RES are always a good idea to help with snail control and subsequent parasite infestations. One big topic the book "Raising Trophy Bass" does not discuss is the pellet trained bass philosophy, how to do it, the options, and pros and cons. However it is a very good book to have if you are interested in growing big bass.
