Man I love this topic! Greg, I posted a question on stocking rainbow trout for trophy bass forage a lon time ago and you're about the only person I can remember mentioning it as a viable forage addition to a pond with larger bass. I guess the biggest drawback would be the fact that they would need to be restocked every year where I am in Tennessee. I think the record of trophies in California has proven that they are a high protein forage that trophy bass eat like candy. I will eventually try some out but for now I am looking to add shad after a few years. Probably gizzard but would prefer Threadfin as they are said to be quite a bit slower than gizzards.
