This. The pic below is my PB NJ largemouth, caught from a VERY public park pond.

I would say forage base is the absolute most important thing. There is no chance of any bass getting big if there is not enough for it to eat. In fact, there needs to be MORE than enough, since as a bass gets larger it requires more food to maintain its body mass, i.e. it takes a lot more food to get a bass from 6 t o7 pounds than it takes to get a bass from 1 to 2 pounds.
