PAfarmPond,
How big is your pond with these bass?
And what other fish are in the pond, especially things as forage fish?
IF you are seriously interested in growing some of your stocker bass to truly large sizes read and learn about pond carrying capacity and maintaining good quality Happy Water. Many pond owners try to raise too many of the biggest fish in too small of the appropriate size of water that has to few forage fish i.e. predators are too crowded for the pond's carrying capacity.
