Stocking an Existing Pond or Lake As stated above, to stock the new pond you can use small sizes of fish. This does not work in an existing pond or lake. Usually the most economical size of a largemouth bass is 8 to 10 inches. This is because largemouth bass smaller than 7 inches will be more likely to end up as food. They will spend more time fleeing from larger fish and less time on growth. 10 to 12 inch largemouth bass start to become cost prohibitive. The extra money you spend on these larger fish will also mean that you will get less fish for your money. However we do carry all sizes listed on the Price sheet.
