Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Otter wrestling

Over the past few months I have noticed that many of the small saplings around my pond have all but disappeared, next I noticed the cattails being systematically chewed at the base and floating. Yesterday I was fishing and in the middle of the pond saw commotion and it was an otter wrestling a giant LMB at the surface. I assume the bass lost. Today I found a large dying CNBG that had a 3" diameter bite out of the tail. I have read a few strings about otter control, but now I am concerned. We saw a small otter across the road a few years ago, but apparently they are establishing themselves in this part of East Texas and decided my pond looked good.
