Frank,
I believe I am correct in saying the "crash" from stopping feeding comes only if due to feeding you are above the normal/natural carrying cap. of your pond. If your goal was to max production of the pond & you over stocked then your fish may become stunted due to not enough forage.
If you don't have too many fish & you stop feeding then their growth will simply slow down relative to feeding unless there is sufficient forage for them to revert to.
