Harvesting small bass is imperative to growing bigger bass. Ponds are ruined by catch and release and too small to keep. The small bass eat the small forage before it gets large enough to feed the bigger predators.
However, that is a pretty simplistic statement. You need to keep a log to find the real status of the pond.

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.
