I'm sure this question has been answered but after scrolling months of the forum I didn't find it. I've got the old PB issues but don't know what issue the article was in. Here goes the question:
My pond is 2 1/2 acres, 3 1/2 yrs old. I stocked blue gill 3 yrs ago and LMB 2 1/2 yrs ago. I fertilize and feed the bream some. I consistently catch nice healthy bass. This spring they are all running 1/1/2 to 2/1/2 lbs with one weighing in at 4 1/2(all the way from a 2 inch fingerling). I have not removed any of the bass. The blue gills are plentiful and growing large. I know this is the year to harvest. How many and what size? Should I be concerned that I'm not catching any bass under one to 1 1/2 lbs? Thanks for your response.
