Good idea. Thinking about slightly overstocking myself, when my pond is done, albeit at a smaller scale. <1 acre.

Pond is about 4 acres when full, usually around 3.5 acres most of the summer.. I stocked more than recommended to kinda counterweight the predation..

I forget how big your pond is BGK. That's a lotta redears! Looking forward to those pics!

I caught a mixed bag of blue gill and redear. My son caught a 7.5 in redear. The biggest I seen in this pond.
