I would say don't put spotted bass in a pond. I have seen first hand the extreme overpopulation in Beaver Reservoir near me. If you throw a lure near a dock, hordes of 5-9 inch spotted bass will come out to take a look. Some of us are starting to consider them a trash fish. Hopefully, the powers that be will remove bag limits, and one could take 30-40 of those numerous 8-9 inchers home for a little fish fry. Length limit has already been removed; it was 12 inches, which represented a 4 year old SPB.
