greg, i stocked 600 bass september 2002 when i got a big rain the put 9 feet of water in about 2 acres. the pond now is about 20 feet deep and 6.5 acres. just raised the spillway and fine tuned the dam, which when full the pond should be 7.5 acres and 25 feet deep. if i buy the little ones, should i pin raise them or just throw them in? and you did say f1's, not florida strain, right? thanks , mark
