Many years ago, I had long experience (over 10 years) with two LMB-BG ponds. One was about 1/5 acre and the other about 1/3. The 1/3 acre pond was much more fertile (a few cows in its field), about 7 ft deep, and the bass were limited to about 5 pounds. The smaller pond was limited in watershed, had a wooded watershed with no livestock, was about 9 ft deep, and the maximum LMB was a little over two pounds. The bass in both ponds tended to have big heads for body size, and had no supplemental feed.
