No, I have hit 'em hard and heavy every year to remove as many Male bass as I see, and any untagged bass. The feed trained bass all have floy tags in them.

The rule at my pond is EVERY bass that is not tagged comes out, no matter if it is 2" or 20" long. Whenever I see a male bass on a next it is caught and removed, tagged or not.

I will never get them all out, but I am slowly transitioning the pond to a SMB/HSB pond.
