That one does have a little better ingredients I wasn't trying to come across unappreciative I think you for the response.

When I feed my fish I put all the fish food in a measuring cup or you can use a container add water to it and let it sit till they all sink. My thinking behind this is when you soak it in water all the air comes out of the pellets. I think that helps protect them from bloat as they are not ingesting are when they grab it from the top of the water also the little air that would be trapped inside the pellets. This is pure speculation for anybody that is reading this.

That's a good idea. I seem to recall that Trout Chow started to sink pretty soon after it hit the water. I may try the Largemouth Bass food and hopefully it will behave the same way.

Otherwise, perhaps Trout Chow or some other bulk food will become a major ingredient of home-made gel food. It's a bit of a PITA to make, but if done up in large quantities and frozen it's not too bad.
