Pond Stocking Package includes (20) 3-5" live largemouth bass.  These fish are the northern largemouth bass species Micropterus salmoides salmoides. Largemouth bass are green with a lateral black line on both sides of the fish.

Bass can grow over 0.5 lb per year. Growth rates vary greatly on food source and water quality. 

We are only licensed to ship live fish to Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Texas due to state licensing restrictions.

Fish arrive in insulated boxes. Inside of the box is an ice pack to maintain the water temperature. Fish are double bagged in water with oxygen and treatment to reduce stress. This treatment makes water appear green-blue.

Shipment Days: Mondays & Thursdays- Orders received by Thursday ship the following Monday, Orders received by Tuesday will ship Thursday

When stocking a pond we recommend 3 prey fish for every 1 predator fish. Bass are considered predator fish. Using this 3:1 stocking ratio ensures a better balance of fish populations within a pond.

Ideal times to stock a pond are spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Fish can be stocked in summer as well, but warmer water can be more stressful on new fish. 

Color: Green
Pattern: Lateral black line on both sides 
Average adult length: 16"
Average adult weight: 2.5 lb
Potential growth per year: 0.5 lb
Bass diet: Fish, crayfish, frogs, game fish food

Get prepped for pond stocking - here are a few things to consider ahead of ordering live fish:

1. Test pond water to ensure conditions are ideal for new fish. While there may already be fish living in the water, there may be some issues that would stress young fish.
2. Provide habitat and cover for young fish. For fish to thrive (and avoid quick predation upon stocking) ensure fish have ample habitat. This can include shoreline plants that grow into the water, rock piles, habitat structures, etc. 
3. Does your pond have an adequate food source to sustain the fish population? A brand new pond, for example, may not have enough minnows, aquatic insects, and other invertebrates to maintain the fish population. Game Fish feed can be used to supplement fish with the diet they need to grow properly.  
4. Trophy bass don’t grow by chance—they grow by dominance. When forage falls short, a high-protein feeding program gives bass the consistent nutrition needed to keep gaining weight instead of losing ground. Fuel predator growth →
