Since you are absentee land owner, you likely won't be hand feeding fish often enough to make much difference, just keep that in mind.

I assume your question regarding stocking size of fish is in regards to game fish? You usually don't have much choice...I always buy the largest fish I can afford, but that's just me.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
