Generally the bigger that you want those bass to be in the pond, the fewer of them there should be in there. Again -- the carrying capacity limit of each acre or 0.1 acre is a big limiting factor. Don't forget that water quality conditions play an equal role. Bad water quality conditions will kill all the fish no matter what size the fish are. Our moderator Condello killed a whole pond of pellet eating HUGE hybrid striped bass in learning that very important basic lesson. I hope you are talented enough to select some single sex LMB in your angling adventures. If you plan to buy the single sex bass, be cautious of what a fish farm tells you what sex they are. Ask for a money-back guarantee. In my history, I trusted a fish farm guy I know for selling me all female perch. Now I am one of those King-Ding-A-Lings. Anyone want to buy some small yellow perch? LOL.
