Yep. And remember that your BG have to live long enough to spawn and keep spawning.
A 14 inch bass can stay alive chasing minnows but won't thrive. The bass needs 10 pounds of forage to gain one pound. I've never figured out what a maintenance diet is. I expect it varies with the water temps and metabolism.

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.
