New 2 acre Pond - Paris Texas area. In April of this year, i put in 1600 medium CNBG, 400 medium RedEar, 30# fathead minnows - no predators - I've fed all spring and summer and have had several hatches based on the fry around the shoreline. i'm ready to start the bass. My goal is to grow good size fish, but i want catchability above trying to grow 8-10# bass. planning to start with the 6"-8" size

What is the forum opinion on starting the F-1 Tiger bass versus the native LMB ?

Also, thinking i'm going to add 50-75 hybrid stripped bass as well?

thoughts ??

What about timing of stocking now or in spring?
