JUST POSTED THIS TO CJBS2003, thinking I was posting to all. Sorry. Appreciate any comments.
Okay. Here's the deal. I have been taking out and evaluating the large bass. Took out a 6 lb.8oz. this morning. My brother took out a 5lb.4oz. yesterday. I took out a 5+ pounder at the beginning of the week. See my post on "Take the big ones out", to which you responded, to get an idea of the pond.
My smaller fish are well into the 95th to 105th percentile. These large fish are falling well short of that, as in the 80-85th percentile. No. 1 is this common and #2 is this normal.
I'm not sure what's going on, but is common for me or my brother to land 5 pounders in a pond my size? I'm trying to ween the big ones and have more medium bass and catch more of my true love, respectable blue gill. I have salt water fished in La. my entire adult life and my joy is in managing my resource and not catching big fish that are not at their potential. Please comment if you would.
Michael
