Growing numerous big bass for your pleasure is not a cheap endeavor because you are maintaining an unbalanced community and basically "pushing" against the normal, natural progression for the fishery i.e. a higher than normal number of large predators per acre, maintaining excessive forage, and reducing unwanted competition (subpar bass). Each trophy bass is highly valuable due to the time and inputs necessary to get to a large bass status, and especially true the bigger the bass gets. To accomplish this with regularity, dependably, and at high densities per acre expect to spend quite a bite of money in several departments. This is why examples of this success are few and are rarities, and without constant vigilance the fishery declines.
