[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3787105, member: 5412"] Pond stocking today. Buddy and I went to three farm ponds and caught bass between 6" to 4.5 lbs. Transported them to my new farm pond that is close to an acre in size dug out by the neighbor with his track hoe so his cattle don't have to walk so far to get a drink. He actually dug out two old ponds that had been filled with sediment. No fish yet in the smaller one that is 1/2 acre. Both almost 30' deep now. Ground water reached in one so it will never go dry again. We put in 51 bass into a 1 acre pond from 6" long to 4.5 lbs along with 10 perch. We are putting out 4 perch traps tomorrow morning to get food into the pond so the bass don't cannibalize their own small ones as much. Three different blood lines, a good mix of small to very large so think that sets up a perfect food chain right off the start. There has to be a mix of female and male bass so there will be a spawn next spring. [/QUOTE]
