Great advice. Thanks a ton. I'm not sure how to consolidate them into 1 thread. As for "keeping". I was talking about keeping them in the pond for genetics. I've landed some nice green sunfish along with nice HBG over the past couple of weeks. As for "trophy class" of HBG or green sunfish. What is max growth? Like I said, I'm new to this, and just want to get the max out of my pond before enlarging it and after. We're having a blast catching and recording the sizes of our fish out of our pond. We've released everything that we've caught the last couple of days. I'd like to start removing some, but not quite sure of the size I should be removing. Also, what should I look for in the genetics to keep in the pond. We've caught some nice size GSF and HBG. Should I keep the BG or should I just be keeping the GSF and HBG and not keep the BG? As you can tell, I've got a lot of questions involving this, LOL. From what I've gathered involving reading so far that if I catch any 14 in LMB that I should remove those from the pond, so I can allow the smaller LMB to grow and also the panfish to grow. That's about all I've gathered so far. I'm still confused about what I should keep involving the BG/HBG/GSF. Again thanks for the help.
