my 2 cents.. if it were me, i'd keep thoese bgills in there.. nothing like a strong forage base..if you think you have to many large bgills, i'm sure you could weed some of those out., but dont rid your pond of all of them.. start working on you bass. your saying your common bass is about 7 - 14"..are they skinny?..might be stunted!.. i'd start taking bass out, 10 - 14 inches, do relitive weights on your bass.. soon you should start to see you larger bass 15" + growing.. i think you can pull out (bass) 20 - 25lbs per acre on a well managed pond.. keep reading these posts... this site rocks!..
