cm you raise a good point discussed from various angles here before. feed the forage or feed the predators or feed both?
feeding the forage is probably the easiest. BG will take to pellets readily whereas you either need to buy feed trained bass or figure a way to train them yerself. for a slightly more hands off management style, i would speculate feeding the forage the more efficient route if you plan on feeding at all.
BG will most definitely feed on the mosquito larvae, but GAMS can happily thrive in water so shallow warm and weedy that not even BG fry or YOY will inhabit. if you'll have any extensive shallows/wetlands anywhere on pond, i'd recommend some gams too......cheap insurance, and a little diversity.
