Anthro - If you want a "Guess I want a more balanced pond, with an occasional giant but lots of action.", then you are well on your way to have that. In a few years using your previous management methods you will have your goal. Trophy ponds IMO are over rated if you can regularly and often catch some 3-5lb bass. If you want more fighting action with nice sized medium bass use more toward ultra light tackle.
