Chadwiczs, I have a Pond thats right at 4 acres and I have stocked 100 pounds of talapia for the entire pond each of the last 5 years. It is definitly not full of stunted bass, I take out 80 to 100 bass each year from half pound up to 5 pounds. Mine are mostly tagged, so I throw back all tagged bass as I know apprx. how old they are. Cody
