If you stocked adequate forage fish, expect bass to grow to 12-14" the first year, then range from one to two and a half the next year. Funny thing, just because they have a different name doesn't mean they grow any faster than other bass. Largemouth bass growth is based on food supplies, competition, and temperature. Genetics play more of a role in how big a bass grows, and not as much as how fast they grow. Growth rates are influenced more by environment and food than genetics.
