BM- That would depend on the size of each fish. I certainly would not put 1-2" LMB in a completely open pond (no cover) with full grown giants.
I would like to try an experiment:
Everyone close your eyes and imagine that you are a bream fisherman ONLY. Catfish, tilapia, small mouth bass, and especially large mouth bass are out of the question (we are playing pretend, ok?). Your goal is to catch really large bream that will fight you like the devil himself and once cooked would taste like it had been submerged in butter. Would this change anyone's opinion if just even slightly? I believe it would.
My point is that everyone has different goals in their pond. Most of the pond bosses here appear to be bass fisherman. Great!!! But each situation, stocking, and maintenance program is different. Let's just offer opinions and agree to disagree.
