Yes, I'm going to feed because wifey loves to feed critters. She lets the ducks eat out of her hands.

The purpose of the pond is to give us some eaters for us and the neighbors. But mostly it's a starter pond until I have the time/money to build the 8 acre large pond downstream from this one. The large pond will be YP and WE as the main fish.

So the real purpose of this pond is to give us training and an on hand starter source for the big pond later.

The BG reproducing was one reason we were originally planning to go RES. Not a huge fan of LMB, kind of the common boring fish everyone seems to have/want, but a few males to help keep things in check isn't out of the question.
