That makes sense, it would've been nice to be able to sample the pond better when it wasn't full to know what I was working with but I'll just have to make do with what's there now. Right now I'm going to continue adding adult sunfish. Should I add as many as possible and assume that if I put in too many that the bass will just have a feast when the pond goes down again, or is there a number I should shoot for? Once I decide what to do with bass that are taken out I'll begin removing them. I don't really want to just toss them but if that's what needs to be done I guess there will be some happy raccoons and possums around.
