Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations harvesting the right size LMB

Last year this site told me to harvest 40 lb of lmb a year to grow big bass. I was also told to harvest 12" and under. The problem is that I can't catch anything 12" and under. Everything I'm catching is 15-16 and some better. Should I meet my 40# by taking these instead? My pond is 2 1/2 acres and 4 yrs. old.
