RC51 - Good points. One of the policies of AES above is to over stock forage and under stock the number of predators. Thus it results in initial fast growth of the predators. However, after the 2nd, 3rd and 4th predator spawning and recruitment, there are way too many predators eating way too many forage fish. "Too many hogs feeding at the trough" a sermon as our mentor Bob Lusk preaches. Then what frequently happens is the larger bass growth rate suddenly "hits the wall" and the pond owner is wondering why the bass are not getting larger. 'Amen'.
