I never cull BG. To me, the big ones are the breeders and the smaller ones are forage. Lots of people disagree with my thought on this.

I generally recommend Ray Scotts idea of culling every LMB under 13 inches that you catch after the second year.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
