Cecil is there a limit on how large the bass can grow in a cage? Is the maximum attainable size of a bass due almost entirely to water quality and the amount of food that is available? Can you grow a ten pound bass in a cage?
James,
I can't answer that as I haven't done it. I've only grown them them from the fingerly size to about 11 inches give or take. It's possible but then again they may become terretorial once they reach sexual maturity. If so separating the sexes may help.
Someone will have to try it I guess. I may try it with smallmouth bass as I don't want free swimming bass in my male bluegill/female yellow perch pond. They are agressive at feeding time (at least the largemouths sure were) and push the gills and perch away from the feed.
I no longer grow out largemouth bass as I want to concentrate on more lucrative species and I only have so many ponds.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
