Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Harvesting/Culling Spotting high potential Males?

My philosophy is to keep the biggest male BG and (for genetics) the very biggest females. Everything smaller than the current slot limits comes out. Size limits are reviewed and possibly revised at least once a year, depending on the physical size of the BG population.

In my LMB/BG pond, I am currently keeping males 8" and up and females 9" and up. Both sexes are running as large as 9.5" base don this years fishing.
