I agree with Eastland go as big as you can. A 10 ac lake would be awsome!

I might though as you suggested prefer to have two 5 - 6 ac ponds with LMB in one & Cats in the other if you are serious about growing big fish.
It would be easier to acomplish.

I can see the merits of both such as a house located between 2 ponds but would prob. prefer one large lake.

Feeders should be part of the plan also.
