OK well with having two broke feet the hands on progress has been none but as far as general knowledge I have gained quite a bit of valuable info. Thank you to all who have helped and hopefully soon I will be back at it and put yalls knowledge and ideas to work.

I have a question now that I know more about what I want to do and I'm sorry if the confuses the heck outta you. I was asked what the goals were by dave. The goals I want to accomplish are as follows:1) I want a one pond devoted to Trophy LMB only; I have a 3 acre pond that I think would best suited for this ie: Stucture/cover the depths and overall shape of the pond. My idea is that I should have, according to the other thread by esshup about carrying capacity; 400 lbs give or take of fish/acre.My 3 acre pond can hold 1200lbs of fish. That being the case I should plan on my Bass getting 15lbs(not likely but shoot high right). So at 15 lbs per LMB and the fact that you should have 10lbs forage per pound of LMB I can fit 7 LMB(105lbs) and 1050lbs of CNBG and RES in various lengths with 45lbs worth of carrying capacity left for whatever(smaller LMB whatever). Because my assumption of the LMB trophy pond you want mostly large LMB with a few in every size range to grow up and replace granddad through the years. A few large CNBG and a moderate amount of small to mediums, and RES to keep away parasites. Am I getting the basic jist of what I'm shooting for?

I have two other goals but I'll save that headache for tommorow lol. Any and all comments welcome and wanted. Thanks all \:\)
