Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Can you teach an old fish new tricks?

My experience is that large LMB do pretty good. We took a 12# from Lake Fork to a quarter acre pond, caught it a year later and it was in good shape. I moved a bunch of over the slot bass from Fork to my ponds a couple at a time. I can tell you the local bullfrog population didn't care for it at all. I re-caught a bunch of those fish for years. We stocked all of our ponds with bluegill from Fork. One day a summer we would take big trash cans or whatever would hold water and load up on bluegills, redears, etc and stock the ponds.
