you already have a traditional lmb, res and bg pond so why not try something a little different. I did a half acre pond at my daughters where we added 50 6 to 7" cnbg in the spring and then added 250 3" res along with 25 lbs of fhm's and 50 4" hsb the following fall (last fall). She hand feeds the fish and loves doing so. The hsb are getting larger from pellet hand feeding along with the fhms, and other fry from the bg and res. The hsb put on a heck of a fight, just ask anyone who has some. At 4 lbs they will pull like a freight train on lighter tackle. I love hooking up with those sized in my 3 acre pond.
