Your growth rates for Texas HBG are about right Bill. Of course, I'm assuming a feeder and some starter fatheads.
I don't like bass in smaller ponds. They do over spawn and become easily conditioned/hook shy. When conditioned, they defeat their stocking purpose. No fun at all.
My overwhelming preferences for small ponds is HBG and CC with a feeder. Without a feeder, the fish relate food to human presence and become even more conditioned.
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.
