cougar, As I said earlier, I like waiting on the bass. IMO you can actually LOOSE a years growth by putting the bass in with the forage fish. By waiting a year for the base of the new pond's forage to multiply & completly fill the void & then stock bass they will have a better chance of reaching they're greatest potiential size.
IMO if you take this approach you're bass will be larger & have a better w/r than your neighbors in 2 yrs.
