Dave,
WIth the Wr on the rise you will start to see 4 lb bass but it will tkae time. The lake did not produce skinny bass over night it took a few years, so it will not produce big bass over night either. With all I know about your pond they should grow well.

However a 16" bass will take another year to reach 4 lbs. I think they will get there though with your harvet effort plus you other mgmt efforts and forage increase.

Dave you have a success story on your hands soon. Dave keep up with Wr like you're doing and also average size. My prediction is that by this fall the avg size bass will be much larger and Bob might consider letting others read about how you got them there in POnd BOss. Continue harvest but now that your close to target take just males. THis will allow survivial of a bass that can reach trophy status.
