I have worked on ponds (7 or 8) stocked by the before mentioned fish grower. I have seen no consistancy with stocking rate recommendations. The fish populations were extremely crowded as a result of the stocking. Green sunfish were present in all the ponds. No 2-3 pound hybrids were observed.

one client told me he was advised to stock 1000 bass per acre. His bass (as well as all other fish in the pond) looked bad.

sorry about the negative post, just calling it like I see it
