I know this isn't what many people consider a big LMB, but at 17.5" long, it clobbered the previous 9" record, hahaha! This is from my 1/8th acre pond (on property we bought about 6 months ago), and I had seen a few that I guessed were between 16-18", so I am happy to prove it now. I got my new dock installed, and was happy to put it to good use!

If you go to the pond daily or close to daily (or if you live there), feeding by hand is a pleasurable event, and you can do it somewhat regularly.

But in a pond of your size, most likely, the fish will come to wherever you are throwing feed.

Usually, Bluegill are the first fist to take to feed. Bass take a bit longer, but all it takes is one or two to start eating the feed, and then the others catch on pretty soon after.

If you do go with a feeder, that is a very steady way to go and the fish will eventually start to gather at the feeder before it goes off, which is also a joyous event to watch, repeatedly.
