Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Natural Pond, thing of the past?

When I was young, my grandpa had a 1/3 acre farm pond we bucket stocked. We never heard of pellets back then. A very few LMB topped out at 5 lbs and a few CC about the same. The BG never reached what we called eating size. A neighbor had a one acre pond, and he had a few 7 to 9 pound bass and a few CC the same size. In my opinion, the larger waters fare much better without feeding.
