100 small LMB per acre is a good start. Not all will make it and you will have to later cull. The other side is that a pond will usually support 100 lbs of predators per acre. A bass converts natural food (prey) at a 1 to 10 ratio. This means that a bass has to eat 10 pounds of forage or prey to gain one pound. That's where the balancing act comes into play.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
