Lusk sez:

It takes 10 pounds of forage for a predator(bass) to gain one pound. And, that prey needs to be 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the predator. It’s a matter of protein received vs energy expended.

A 5 pound bass will starve to death catching minnows.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
