Thank you Jeff you made me feel better because I go back and forth and when it may take ten years to reach a goal of a trophy bass pond going back and forth every year between size and numbers makes reaching that goal of a trophy difficult. I know some people on the forum have the luxery of two ponds and can have seperate goals for each. However many of us that have only one pond try to have the two ponds together. This can cause a biomass crash because we have many large fish instead of just a few per acre and so each year someone has a fish kill. I really like George's idea of a fish ladder having different sizes of fish that can be caught. I wonder if it should be more like a pyramid with the smallest numbers of fish being the largest fish reducing the chances of a fish kill. It seems to do this would take a plan of managment and removal of certain sizes. Jeff what do you plan on removing each year to keep your pond from having a biomass crash?
