Snipe actually works with the state fishery people in Kansas.

They have a program to quickly raise large bass and put them in the public reservoirs.

He said they actually use koi (a type of carp) to provide the maximum calories to the bass.

He did a thread on that topic and said that was NOT recommended for private ponds. I believe(?) the reason was that some of the koi will grow beyond the mouth gape of your biggest bass and then you have giant koi constantly stirring up the sediment in your pond and messing up all of the OTHER food chains.

I think you may be overthinking this a little. I believe ALL of the experts on Pond Boss believe BG are the by far the best source of food for bass after they get to a decent size. (I am not an expert.)

If you really wanted to help your bass, then one option would be to collect population samples in your pond of the bass and the BG. If you ever find a size class of bass that only has a small supply of the optimal size of BG, then you could raise BG in your forage pond to that size class and then move a very numerous population over to the main pond.
