Hosty - I know the fish farmer you talk about. It is frequently done his way in Ohio and is recommended by the DNR, OSU extension service and Soil and Water Cons Service offices. What usually happens with this stocking method in OH is the size of bgill tends to be larger during the early years. This type of stocking does work and is probably in OH more fool proof, although the bass may not grow quite a fast as the PBoss way. The PBoss way will produce more numerous smaller fish that feed rapidly growing bass. Both methods require keeping an eye on the populations so a balance is maintained. You control the population densities and relative sizes of fish with our management techniques.
