Bill,

Interesting reading. Most literature says stunted bluegills are the most common problem in farm ponds due to overharvest of bass, but you find in only 1 or 2 out of a 100 cases.

I have lots of large bass I pellet feed to grow big bass and a good number of smaller bass in the pond that were reproduced in the pond and are not pellet trained. I'm hoping the slower growing bass that are not pellet trained and are feeding on gills will keep their numbers down so I can grow big gills. Trying to have my cake and eat it too. If Jason comes out to electroshock this spring I may find out how close I am.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
