I was referring to feeding them with good quality pelleted food. Either by hand every day or with a fish feeder. There are good reliable fish feeders out there. I prefer the Texas Hunter brand, and AquaMax Carnivore fish food (either 500 or 600 size). Feeding the fish won't make a difference in the catchability, if anything they will be easier to catch if you use a Stubby Steve's imitation fish pellet.

A friend feeds his fish by hand every day (AM 600) and fishing for LMB in his pond with a 6" Pumpkinseed colored worm works the best. I feed too, and here's a LMB that I caught from my pond 3-16-2011.
