You have a classic out of balance predator/prey relationship. It takes either starting over or time and effort. Fish it hard and never return a bass to the water.

It�s kinda like having too many cows for the forage (grass) base. To thrive, that bass needs to eat 10 pounds of bg to gain 1 pound. Until you eliminate enough predators, the prey base can�t revive itself. It�s neither quick nor easy.

If it were me, I would get a pro to test and create a game plan. Greg Grimes of Ball Ground Georgia would be my pick.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
