Hey Bus, I'm about 75 miles south of St. Louis on I-55. Are we close? Good luck with your adventure. I started mine just about his time last year. I stocked 250 3-5" BG, 150 1-2" RES and about 25-30 adult (7-10") BG & RES. I started putting bass in the pond this summer about 3-4 weeks ago. I'm putting 25-30 bass from 8"-12", and trying to add about 5 two pounders to help handle the larger BG. I think I've got it about right. I tell you this, because it sounds exactly what you're doin. I feed 4 nights a week and they love the Purina AquaMax 400. Istarted mixing a little AquaMax 500 in also. Started that last week. Can't tell much difference yet, but you're right - it's fun to watch. Good luck to you.
