Kind of silly situation, but I thought I would get your opinion on this. I have a new pond only stocked with 1500 bluegill, 250 shell cracker and 8000 fathead minnows. All stocked over the last few months. The pond is about 3/4 acre and located in lower Mississippi. My plan is to add some F1 tiger bass fingerlings in June of this year.
I caught a 6 inch largemouth bass in another pond near my house. I have the bass in my aerated live well right now.
Do you think it would be a bad idea to release the bass in my pond?
Obviously I don’t think it would eat all my forage base, but do you think it would maybe be big enough in 3 months and possible eat some of the fingerling bass that will be added in June?
Any positive or negative thoughts on this?
