If he had gobs of them, he had something else besides them to feed on. That's my point exactly.
People spend some serious $ to create their idea of the perfect pond just to have it dashed a couple years down the road. The hatcheries tell you to kill the pond and start over...its good for them...not so good for you. Especially when it's just as likely your perfect pond is gonna get contaminated again.
The hatcheries and the fish trucks are there for one purpose: to sell as many fish as possible, not to dispense sound stocking advice. I've heard of them around here trying to sell 300 CC per acre. The people put them in their pond, and then never feed or manage.
