Your bass at 11"-12", I think will spawn this spring. The offspring are the ones that will cause a big part of your future bass over population problems. I agree with those above if you are looking for generally larger bass; remove 50-100 from the 2 acres this spring and summer. Your advisor was looking to sell fish, not necessarily in your best interest for growing larger bass. Pay attention to how many small bass you have this fall. If they appear commonplace, remove a quite a few of them over the next 1-3 yrs. Do you seem to have numerous 2"-4" forage fish??? Do you use fish tarps or seining to monitor relative numbers of forage fish??
