I have a few hundred pounds of bass in a pond less than an acre but I plant feed trained bass annually and continue to feed them high protein low carbohydrate pellets.

I am growing them for a niche market but this shows you can have quite a few pounds of bass if you are willing to feed them. I have about 75 bass right now that are 2 to 4 lbs. Harvest method is mostly hook and line with some electroshocking.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
