I have a huge lake on one of my properties that my grandfather built. It's about 25 feet deep at its depest point and about 100 yards across. It's a pretty massive lake. Right now we have perch, catfish, and largemouth bass. We are probably going to put more catfish and bass in there. Any other stocking suggestions?

So in the winter, the air temperature can drop to the low 40's and high 30's, and in the summer it maxes out in the 100's.
Tilapia would make a great food source for BIG bass and arent bad eating for human consumption...
If you already have bass and catfish in there I would stock it with Shiners. Shiners are basically the twinkies of freshwater, everything eats them. If you want a healthy pond with big fish you need to make sure those fish get fed. You'll notice the bass and catfish population grow in size and numbers very quickly. We did this to a lake in my grandmas backyard in Florida a few years ago. The bass I've been catching are all super fat and healthy. We also put in some grass carp to eat the vegitation and they have done a great job keeping the lake clean. if you add grass carp make sure they are certified triploid carp, it basically means they are sterile and can't breed.
