Thanks for your response. I just thought it was a little early to be removing bass, but your situation sounds alot different from ours. I guess your weight gains and growth on your bass have lead to an early elimination of some smaller ones. Our lake has been stocked 4 yrs. and we have not removed any bass as of yet. We will hopefully this spring. By the way, we have produced a 7.5 pounder and I'm sure there, more as this lake is not fished very much at this time.

Also....I hope SE shocked your lake before making there recomendations. Please tell me they did.
