Anthropic, I found a few other articles with similar harvest guidelines but they also seemed to be written by state fisheries managers.It always boils down to our goals.I originally responded to this post trying to help a fellow pond enthusiast with a similar geographic location but the thread quickly went south.I thought removing small BG and clipping their fins would be a method of harvesting them. I was eluding to the fact that doing this could be a lot of work but it is possible to remove a large amount of BG from your pond and still have a healthy, productive BOW.My pond is just three years old and my bull bluegills are still only about 7" long so I will wait till year four before I start harvesting the 6" and 7" BG. My goal is a good all around fishing pond for friends and family!
