Absolutely right, Pat. If immediate feeding the bass is the goal, then the more clueless the BG are the better.

But if increasing the long term population of BG is the goal, that's another matter. Fish must survive to reproduce! And Bob Lusk once remarked that forage pond raised fish increase the odds of getting some giant panfish, but again they can't get huge from inside a bass.

So we're back to that old favorite: It depends. grin
