Keep the females so they don't breed.. Trust me they still will and you'll never get them all.. I caught 138 females out of my pond tonight all loaded with eggs.. I've caught well over 500 in the last couple months I have an excellent bluegill pond but i want trophy size gills.. I know I've caught very close to 2lbs before I even started any management..

Next thing forme is trapping fish I have to get these little guys away from my feeders and feed these bigs..

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
