Dawghall,
you definitely want to get ahold of greg grimes for this along with the forum guys suggestions. Greg is near Atlanta, and I dont have clue where that is in relation to you, but I know he services all of Georgia. Anyhow if you truly want to do this right you will use the very best genetic bass possible and would get not only the best genetic bass, but have them feed trained to boot. Feeding the bass directly will really help you not only grow large bass, but you will be able to have quite a few more large bass than in your 1.8 acre pond. Greg will get you some more specific details.
