Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations What makes exceptional trophy lakes different?

I think the growth plan for some female LMB(8/ac) sounds like a very good way to grow some really big and maybe trophy sized LMB. The plan sounds like a practical and decent way to grow primarily big bass because of the recent PBoss Jul-Aug article by Dr Wes Neal titled "Why Is It So Hard To Recover A Bass-Crowded Pond. He explains why ponds with crowded LMB that had been density corrected always tend to fairly quickly return to a bass crowded state (2 research studies cited) . Using just female bass eliminates two big problems for growing really big LMB. 1. LMB based ponds have a strong tendency to ANNUALLY have too many small bass recruited into the population. This leads to major food shortages to keep target bass growing. 2. All females reduces your time spent properly harvesting unwanted bass. Then your time can then be focused on making sure there are plenty of the correct sizes and amounts of prey foods to keep the limited number of all female bass growing at the best possible rate each year.

Now the big biggest problem of this whole plan is, where does one reliably obtain all female bass?? At this point in time, it is a very difficult and elusive goal to find the all female bass, especially ones of known age.
