wow, seems to be good pond conditions, 5 acres with about 20" sechi holds good bloom, 50 lbs a week of 36% protein, but may should up it some.no aerator but active springs feeding pond and moving water, 12' deepest point but averages about 5'. how much feed is optimal?

As much as they will eat in 15 minutes however many times a day you can afford aslong as your water quality stays good.. Also a high number if bass to eat small BG keep all Small BG throw everything back over 8-9".. That's a good start.. With aeration you can get away feeding more be careful without it ad pay close attention to your water quality..

A fellow Pondmeister is going thru 100#/mo in his 2 ac pond, and he could be feeding more. Like what was said, let the fish and your wallet dictate how much you feed.
Food = nutrients, so more food = more FA or plant growth.

That fish is outstanding.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

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.
