I just got my pond stocked with bass. Hatchery guy had 3-5" redear. I put 400 in. Would have put more but 60 cents each prohibited that.
My pond has no runoff so I have been pumping from an irrigation well. I had to run 1200 ft. of underground pipe from well to pond.
I'll be glad when I can quit spending $ and start catching some of these high dollar fish!
