I've thought about your question and have a few questions. 1) Are there any size restrictions on the bass and what is the daily limit? 2) Does the lake receive heavy fishing pressure? 3) Do you have any idea about the productivity of the lake? Is it clear? Lots of aquatic vegetation? Does it get algal blooms (i.e. a green tinge to the water caused by microscopic phytoplankton...algae)?

If there are large numbers of 8" bluegill then the bass are probably stockpiled, but there could be a few other things going on. Answering the above questions will help me narrow down some things.
