my thought would be that if you have an existing LMB population, and the pond needs more forage, 1,000 BG in 3 acres might be on the low side. seems to me the new stockers would be heavily preyed upon by the existing bass unless the pond has really good cover for the smaller guys. from what i've read here, the HBG are good for a put and take...if you have heavy fishing pressure its probably ok, what the experts have cautioned about though is the poor quality of fish resulting from HBG breeding....please wait for more info though......i'm just fish mgmt rookie.
