I agree with Greg. My pond was stocked last fall with 200 2-4 inch native LMB. I feed Aquamax 500 2 times a day. Saturday evening about 2 hours before feeding time, I was trying to retrieve a float from about 25 feet out in the water close to my feeder. I was using another float with a bare hook. It took about a dozen cast to get it back in. In the process I caught 2 bass about 7-8 inches long. Maybe it will change when they get to a couple of pounds. Maybe then I'll have to bait the hook!
