I have a different observation to offer. For those that remember, I have reason to believe that poachers had hit my pond pretty heavily. I had seen virtually no LMB activity. Then, I added about a dozen or so 6 to 10 inchers from a neighbors bass heavy 1/3 acre pond. You could literally catch one on every cast. After a couple of weeks, it has lit up the place. Once again, I have bass feeding on BG when I feed. Although I understand that nobody is going to catch every fish of any species from any water hole, I believe I had a bass shortage or they were so hook shy that they wouldn't show themselves even though opportunity was always there. The added fish had never had an easy life or even a really square meal. They are agressive. My Grandson and I trapped some small bluegill yesterday to try for catfish. Couldn't keep the bass off but couldn't land any.

So, I have a different scenario than Greg or ML. These fish have always had to hustle for a living and are now in a place where living is easy. And yet, they are still agressive. Time will tell.
