Wo! I didn't say to overstock your pond!

I'm saying you could grow out up to 2500 lbs. of bass per acre if you feed them and you have proper aeration.
There is a big difference in planting a predator prey combination and not feeding the pellets and stocking a sole predator species and feeding them.
