Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Female only LMB concept debunked?

Fascinating discussion between Supreme Pondmeister Bob Lusk and Shawn (? last name) of American Sportfisheries on the FB broadcast yesterday.

They agreed that the female only concept sounds good in theory, but practice is something else. As Bob put it, LMB were meant to reproduce. When that doesn't happen, there are consequences.

Shawn recounted the time when he checked out a lake of female only Florida LMB. To his surprise, all the oldest bass were tightly clustered around 9 to 9.5 lb in size, nothing larger. Apparently bass are motivated to eat & grow in order to have a better shot of reproducing, but when that isn't possible they just stop growing at a certain point.

Interesting stuff I haven't heard anywhere else. I've considered building another smaller pond with female only LMB, but this info makes me think twice!
