Skuza, I was curious about having 3-5" smallies. Do you think that those smallies are a year class from your pond? Or may someone have stocked them recently?

The reason I ask is because if you're getting smallmouth bass reproduction in your pond, I believe that's pretty awesome and maybe something to foster.

An option to consider (after the proper evaluation as has been stated), is a Smallmouth lake.

Most can only dream of regularly hooking into 15-20"+ bronzebacks in your own body of water.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
