Good question Esshup. As long as I can keep them fed naturally,, my goal are a few 21" 7lbers. In that case I would cut back on the number of LMB you stock to 25. I would plan on putting a Texas Hunter Feeder on the pond to feed both the Bluegills and the Bass. If you are stocking 12" bass, then they most likely have lived their lives eating pellets and they will have to learn to eat fish. Reason why I say cut back on the bass is that a bass @ 12" weight somewhere between 0.8 and 1 pound. Each bass will have to eat roughly 60# of fish to grow to 7 pounds. The Bluegills will weigh between 40# and 100# per thousand fish, depending on how big they are. If the bass were eating a good fish food, they could put on approximately a pound of weight eating 2 pounds of food.
