Aaron threw copious TLC and cash at them and it worked where nobody thought it would.

BG are just about the only fish that can almost keep up with LMB spawning/predation. And that's only with culling.

Even then, I would start with 2,000 BG or CNBG and RES with an 80/20 mix per acre. Add about 3-5,000 fathead minnows to initial stocking. Stock bass a year later. After the 3rd year year, cull every bass under 14 inches. I always say that when a bass can go to sleep with its mouth open and wake up with a full belly, it's time to stock them.

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.
