Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Stocking 2” Bass In New Tank

Keep an eye on their growth rate. You should see them adding at the very minimum a pound of weight (might be 2 or 3 pounds) per year the first year. If your goal is to grow large bass, then start harvesting the YOY bass once they pull off a spawn (which could be next Spring if they grow quick - 12"-14" bass will spawn).

If your goal is to manage for large panfish, then any LMB you see over 14" take out.
