Get the survey that will give you a good idea on the bluegill. But in my pond i take out any bluegill caught that is hand size, I throw back all big males and females, and i really dont catch many small ones. Ive never taken a bass out of my pond can i cant catch the channel cats if there still in there.. This is just what i do it is not a suggestion for your pond necessarily but it works for mine. Everyone else that i let fish my pond is catch and release unless im with them then they can keep 500 hand sizers if they want i dont care just dont think you can come into my house and still my kids lol..

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
