Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations overcrowding verdict?

I'm no expert but it sounds like your efforts are starting to work. A few years ago the only sized BG I ever saw or caught in my pond was big (6"+). And all you could catch were small skinny bass, because there weren't enough small BG for the bass to get full on. Since then I've started thinning the small bass and feeding the BG and the average size of bass caught has increased and their relative weights are good too. And I now see BG of all sizes, just like you. I wouldn't remove any BG. If you now have a healthy BG population it should only be a matter of time until the bass start growing too.
