Bill,

I put a lot (LOTS) of minnows in my pond every spring and fall (kind of a natural diet )but those perch still love the pellets.

I'm actually leaning toward the fast growth rate, but if they're not reproducing, I have to restock sooner.

Is there a comparison of perch (ages) weights and lengths on a natural diet vs feed trained perch? I think I know who is going to win but I'm just trying to learn.
