Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Bad LMB behavior

Some individual fish are overly territorial and greedy. Often those fish are fast growers. It should be easy to remove the bully bass by placing a 2"-3" BG on a hook and dropping it in the feeding area. When the bass grabs the bait give it time to swallow the BG.

I would mention to the fish stocking neighbor how much it will cost to kill off the pond to remove the self imposed bucket stocked fish. Politely ask if he would like to pay several hundred dollars for the cost of pond renovation? Even though you probably will not renovate, IMO it is good to point out to him the implications of his neighborly "good deed" especially when not invited to bucket stock.
