Here's another couple of hints:
The biggest bass we collected was just shy of 4 pounds. Owners reported catches of several bass around 5 over the last few months.
14-16" bass relative weight was 84-90%.
Abundant 7-9" bass relative weight was 105%.
From this it sounds like it is about halfway back to where it was when it began. A place most ponds settle to. Pulling the rug on feeding in 2014, to include pulling the rug on annual stocking of TP had an impact on the Large predators. I sure hope those 5 lb bass weren't of the (2 lb head/3 lb body) variety. Bob, please tell us that these 5 lbers were not once the trophies in 2012. Its too bad that this year is lost as far as growing forage for them.
