OK,

Let me ask this per the reply - if we agree for sake of argurment that 90% fish live in 10% of the water. The in a 12 acre lake that equaltes to 1.2 "fishable acres". In the other example, 3 - 4 acre ponds - is .4 acres each times 3 = 1.2 "fishable acres". Net-net same opportunity, right?

BTW, Im not for/against either particular approach, but think it's all in the management and desire of the owner and personal preference.

In the example above, my focus (should?) be to improving the "fishable acres" ratio from 10% to 20%, therefore inproving the impoundments I have (whatever size). Did you have a discussion about "why" 90% fo the fish live in 10% of the water? What was Bob's perspective here?
