Largemouth Bass Growth Rate?

[JeBassMaster]

Does anyone know how fast largemouth bass can grow? I have 4 Florida strain largemouth in a 5000 gallon outdoor pond, and my biggest two are currently 8+ inches, smaller ones around 6. Their diet consists of only Northfin carnivore pellets at the moment, and will be supplemented with live tilapia fry once my tilapia in the pond spawn here in the next few days. Once the bass reach 12 inches I am going to add live crawfish too. They will have an abundance of food bottom line. Water temps on the surface at least consistently range from 75-82 degrees, bottom temps I am not sure, it's 4 feet deep, probably 78 consistently or higher. The water is highly oxygenated and clean from multiple filters and lots of aquatic plants. Any ideas on how fast they should grow?

I started an aquarium with a bluegill and a largemouth bass about six inches that I caught in a cast net. The fish all have more than enough room and I feed the two of them live fish, shrimp and the occasional crawfish. They eat everything I give them and are very healthy. My question is how fast will the bass grow? The size has not changed since I caught it a month ago but I'd like to know what to expect and any suggestions about anything else would also be appreciated.
