Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - ok to add adult LMB to an existing pond?

I think I know the answer but have to ask anyway. My pond is 2 acres only stocked less than a year with LMB, BG, RES, MF. The BG are a mix of 1-3” and adults, they are doing very well with feeding. I have GS and TFS coming soon. I have access to adult LMB from where i work, I am culling relative weights between 90 and 105 to hit the goal of 200lbs removed. Will there ever be a time where it is ok to add a few of these adult LMB or do i just have to be patient and let the plan play out?

I'd be inclined to not add larger bass unless you stocked too many small ones and need to reduce there number along with anything else that will fit in their mouths. I initially overstocked my pond because I went with the recommendation of the fish farm. A fish kill allowed me a second chance. I am a fan of minimum stocking to get the species established and ample harvest to keep them healthy. Bill has been a great resource for me and I have the results I want; all fish are fat across all size classes. We harvest 60 big bg and ten eating size (12-14") lmb per year in in our one acre lmb and bg pond. Our yp and smb pond is also doing well. Good luck!😂

EVERY year, just to keep the pond somewhat in balance!
