Jayman it is a tough situation. I also have had client move to a place with a pond and say they only have minnows and it turns out they have bass as well. Some evualuation of current fish population strucutue is the utmost importance before stocking anything free or not. SO I disagree if your above statment if Terry stocks the 1 lb bass now it will in the longrun cost him much more money to ever have a good fishery.
