Thank you all for the input!

So I guess going with what you all have mentioned, is this same theory feasible at a smaller scale, say 1 acre or so? I haven't found hardly any land with a 1.5+ acre pond on it let alone a 5+ acre pond. I doubt that I could afford to build a 3-5 acre pond either. Another question is would it even be worth having a bluegill or sunfish species at all? With the YP and the other forage species and supplemental feeding, could I still maintain a quality fishery? Harvesting as it seems 2-4 lbs of live fish a week may be pushing it, but if I harvest less, would I still be able to have the large fish that are fun to catch in the smaller 1 acre pond with these species? I would want to go pretty deep 15-20 ft deep as Mr. Cody mentioned, but I don't think building much over an acre is going to be in my budget.

Thanks again all!
