As a taxidermist I just took in a close to 9 pound bass from a pond smaller than yours. And that's in northern Indiana. So you should be able to do at least as good in Louisianna. As far as carrying capacity you'll have to see what some of the more knowledgable contributors say. I was under the impression that 300 lbs. per acre of bass and prey fish is obtainable without aeration.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
