Ml- there is a correlation between them but this is b/c there are fewer bass to be caught now than two years ago. Remember I'm not one to believe big fish are harder to catch. I bet if we measuered lbs of bass caught/man hour it would be the close to equal even though bass/hr is lower. Actually I hope it is slightly higher because I think we have also raised his carrying capacity by adding fertilization and supplemental feeding.

See what I mean? This is one point that lot of pond owners do not get. They want to catch alot of big bass, but you can only have so many that are big. He is tickled to death to catch several 2 lb bass instead of tons of 1/2 lb bass. I think he will be catching slightly less but still several 3-4 lb bass by next year. As a side note the Wr has went from 72% to 91%.
