Hardin , sorry been busy and just saw this post. I think your questions have been answered , lets move forward. I just finished our plan for a quality bass pond. If this copy and paste is hard to read so let me know and I can flip you the entire Powerpoint with background as to why stock this way. As mentioned past rec. were based on a different set of goals than many want now for quality bass experience. The results are pretty remarkable if followed through. I hope this helps and feel free to ask questions. I will try to answer back. Thanks
