My goal is to keep the pond balanced and make sure the food supply is ample. I find myself enjoying the bluegill and crappie fishing and less the bass fishing. Plus I enjoy eating the crappie and bluegill. I want to make sure the shocking and removing the bass is done correctly but I have never done it. What are the negatives of shocking the pond and how do I know how many to remove. I'm not sure what Wr stands for. I don't want to completely remove the bass but I feel I have to many by their sizes being small. The biggest bass ever caught was about 3Lbs and most are betweeen 1-2Lbs. plus the fact the bass harvesting has been limited the past 8 years.
