Thanks for the input jpsdad, I would love to have a different sampling method but I don't really have one as effective as worms. The PKS being the best body condition is not surprising as the snail population is quite high in the pond, as seen in the decent parasite load on most fish. Nothing too concerning but I would like to see it lower. All fish were marked, including the LMB so no issues there, but I worry my scale was off as there is no way that bass is over 100% rw; photo attached below.
