If you want bluegill in better condition don't remove the small bass.


Can you please explain why leaving small bass will help condition of bluegill?

Not planning to remove small bass, but don't understand how this will help bluegill.


It reduces their numbers


Lots of small bass reduce bluegill numbers and increase relative weights of bluegills due to less bluegill mouths to feed. Typically ponds with large bluegills have lots of 8 to 12 inch bass.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
