I'm in the camp...if you own a private pond and can't catch bass the way you want to, you are doing something wrong. (or you have trespassers or water turkeys) Granted, fishing will not be "great" every day, but you liked getting exhausted catching the 1-3 lb bass right ? Managing a pond for bass in the 2-4 lb. range is completely different than managing for 6+ bass. I have always preferred the 2-4 lb. range with a sporatic lunker, that may explain the differences between my ponds, and ML & George. If you don't have Lusk's book, get it immediately.
