They have spawned to much for me too! Is it true that a pond with stunted bass for an extended period the bass can't reach thier pontential max growth anymore? I read about it on here. Wondering if y'all have had the same problem I've had and say 4 or 5 years from now not seen big fish. Does it go into breeding, should I maybe stock fresh bass say 15" and bigger once it is thinned out? Or is it ok if I keep the numbers down. I'm full of questions, this forum opened up a whole new world!
