I oversee our POA 4 acre lake. We have a thriving CNBG population, FHM, and growing LMB population. A new resident has a strange request. She has this 16+ pound bass that Texas Parks and Wildlife will relocate to our POA lake. She is asking for permission to add it to our lake. My first thought is YES. But then how would this affect other fish and will our lake be able to adequately "grow" this bass? Our lake is about 5 years old and our largest bass caught to date is around 7+ pounds.

I've tentatively given her the go-ahead. Do I need to do anything to accommodate this bass? I'm thinking of adding more structure deeper in the lake to give it some better loafing areas.

Suggestions are very appreciated!
