I fought otters at my old pond year after year which made it hard to manage like i wanted to. i always kept any female bg i caught and kept it bass heavy. kept the bg well fed with aquamax. i had a really big bluegill population and weighed one that was 1.5 lbs. i figure we caught several more that were the same size just didn't weigh them.

now my new pond is coming along about the same. the bg have been in for 3 years now. we caught one last week that was 1.5 lbs and it is common to catch them that look about the same size. i just got a new set of digital scales so we haven't been weighing them until now. these are fed aquamax and optimal. i had an otter here for a short time, he has been removed. i almost never catch a female bg.

i am ready to break the 2 lb class. do any of you all consistently catch 2 lb bg from your pond?i hope a few years from now i am back asking the same question, but asking about 3 lb's and not 2 lb's.
