jpsdad - explains some good details that having both really big bass AND trophy 2 lb BG are very, very, very difficult to achieve. At least very difficult to achieve for having high number of both types in the same pond. As he mentions maybe the easiest option and and still a good fishery is to try to manage for acceptable numbers of 3 to 5 lb bass and 1 lb BG. - "a type of compromise between the two extremes".
