To answer your question. Rethink your goals, trophy bass in 3/4 acre is tough! You still want it that way stock only about 10 bass all over 3 lbs if you can get them and they will thrive on the forage that is there. DO not introduce another predator and remove all the white perch you can.

Dave,
Just a quick note I shocked 125 ponds last year and do not have the same coorelation of lake size to stunting. I see large ponds (20 acres or better) just as stunted as small 1-5 acre ponds. The average size I see is also 10-12 inches. It seems to me to be a coorelation of years of bass harvest. The pond that is neglected for several years maybe stunted at 8-10 inches and the pond just starting to get stunted may have them at 12-14 inches.
