If you think about it, the bass have to eat something to survive. I expect they ate everything you put in and then some of them starved out.

We generally expect a well balanced pond to support about 50 to 100 pounds of predators per acre and a bass converts food on a 1:10 basis. In other words, it takes 10 pounds of BG to gain one pound. Bass are eating machines and are better left out of anything less than one acre.

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.
