I havn't been on the site in a while but I thought I'd chime in with some good news.
For those of you who don't know me, when I got my new lake 3 years ago all I could catch was 12-14 inch bass that were 75% RW. After finding this site and learning all I could I began to implement the standard recomended culling program. In '04 I culled 20lbs per acer of bass and over 400 crappie. In '05 I culled 15'lbs per acer and almost 1000 crappie. Now the RW are averaging above 90%, it's quite common to catch 2.5+ pounders, and best of all we just topped the lake record with a 23" 7LB 1oz Largemouth!
It's so great to see my fish getting big and fat.
Thanks Pondboss guys.
