Anytime you put LMB in a one acre pond with BG, You're going to have to manage it. After the 2nd year, you have to work at culling of LMB under 13 to 14 inches. Those guys are eating and spawning machines. I'm certainly not saying not to do it. Just be aware that you have some diligence to work at. Also, expect your fish to become conditioned and hook shy. Going out anytime and catching 2 to 5 lb. bass is a good trick.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
