If so, would I be correct in saying I should throw the big male BG back like I did yesterday, but still keep the bass slightly crowded.

It's going to be difficult getting a handle on my pond due to it's age and size but I am enjoying it very much. The bluegill and 2 or 3 blue cats put on a show at feeding time this evening.


I think you're right on the money, eric.

I'd like to see you keep a much higher percentage of female bluegill in general when you choose to keep fish. The combination of feeding, and selective harvest will give you a great bluegill pond. Make sure if the bluegill start looking skinny that you step on the pedal when it comes to harvest.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
