I have a 1 acre pond that was stocked with 75 bass 1000 hybrid bluegill and 300 shellcrackers and 150 channelcat . i've read so many post denouncing the stocking of hybrid bluegill and i understand the male dominance of these fish but my bass are doing very well pond has been stocked for 3 yrs , i've tagged 30 fish and 70% of these fish are above 3lbs, maybe it's because the bass are feeding on their own offspring resulting in limiting there competition. i've only caught 1 bass in the past 2yrs under 10"
