You can mix the F1 and northern LMB. With excess food the northern strain should in OK grow to 8 lbs a very nice bass for all anglers. Your LMB number per acre of 90/ac is a little high for a trophy bass fishery. Learn more about this in the link below. IMO I would reduce the number of LMB and add HSB(10-20/ac) especially if you add some crappie. IMO your very best success will be will be using only hybrid crappie to minimize fish balance problems. HSB will help greatly controlling crappie reproduction. Create a strong forage base then add predators and use proper harvest after the bass have reproduced twice and you should be well on your way to having a bass paradise esp if you add some HSB. Read how this fellow Oklahoma pond owner is growing large bass. http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=405499#Post405499Read through and learn from these threads for growing great bass while the forage community develops. http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=255372#Post255372
