Hello Js glad you found Pond Boss. Bob Lusk has a great book that is aptly named "Raising Trophy Bass." It has quite a bit of information that is bass specific and IMHO a great reference.

The fact that you were had an 8.7 pound bass is a good start. Dang I only wish I had bass that large in my pond.

Hang on and one of the resident experts will be around to answer your question.
