Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations wild fish/commercial fish food?

Last year after stocking about half my large bass we got hit with a drought. The pond level dropped quickly and I did not have enough forage in the pond. So I started feeding my bass frogs, minnows, bugs what ever I could find. With in a short time my big bass AKA Betty would follow me around the pond. She will still take large baits from my hand. On a different note. Before I had the bass in our pond we had just BG and Bait fish and the pond banks were covered in leopard frogs. If you walked near the pond the frogs would jump in the water. Within 7 days of the first tank full of adult bass going in the pond the dam frogs would jump up the bank and into the field! For that many frogs to figure it out’ the little SOB’s have to reason to some degree! The down side of bass for pets is my teenagers get pissed off as I do not allow live bait fishing!
