I think feed trained bass on Aquamax Largemouth would do pretty well (up to whatever the 45% protein size limit is; 6-8 lbs has been reported as the top end for LMB on 40-42% feed) in a pond with nothing else. I would want to reestablish a better forage base for them, but I think you could start the LMB any time if they are good pellet eaters.
