Dave: Thank you for your responses. LMB are present in large numbers although there seems to be an abundance of 9 to 12 inch fish. Have not caught or eyeballed any larger than those. Just bought this pond in December "04" so have had little chance to get a good feel for population. I have caught about 15 bass of that size when the ice gave me an opening. After reading all the posts on this site regarding an overabundance of bass I feel I am headed in the culling direction with my pond. I will wait until the spring fling before deciding what I really have in there. Sure has been hard to sit and look at an ice covered pond for almost 3 months! It is driving me crazy although my wife says that's a short drive!
