I've referenced this website over the years but just got around to asking an account. We have been managing a 20 acre pond in SC. Big bass are caught yearly, but we are just beginning to notice a good increase in the 3 pounders this year. It has always been a great bream pond with true one pound bluegill and shellcracker pretty commonly caught when targeted. We've been trying to take out sub-3 pound bass over the last 10 years but I've hit them especially hard this year. This is the biggest I've caught out of the pond from a few weeks ago.
