Below is a little more detailed information from a thread about expected and actual LMB growth that was located in the Archives for LMB Management. One can grow bass from fingerling to even 5 lbs in one year in a south central or southern pond due to a longer growing season. However growth can be exceptional for your region providing quality bass from good brood stock are stocked into a proper forage 'rich' pond. Unlimited food does wonders for fish growth.
