picking up 25, 5-7 in Florida strain largemouth this week for my pond. selectively culling this fall and next spring fish under 14in, so obviously don't want to accidentally toss out these expensive fish here in the culling process. Thinking about just fin clipping the top of the tail fin upon stocking them? if the bass were adult size id have no hesitation and would probably even tag them, but given there so small just wanted to ask everyones thoughts. thx

I don’t know much about fin clipping, etc. But, I’m not a fan of hanging up its movements.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Clip the left or right pelvic fin.If you add more at a later date, you can clip the opposite pelvic fin.to tell when the fish were stocked.
