I want to again overemphasize largemouth bass harvest for anyone who is new to this pond ownership game.
Our goal is healthy largemouth bass that have relative weights near or exceeding 100%. We're not expecting(or spending the $ for) exceptional trophy fish, but we want to have a good time catching quality fish up to 5lbs or beyond!! I think it's very doable for our little body of water that is around 2ish acres.
That being said, I am up to 62 bass removed this year!!
This past catch(the 26th of June) yielded 19 bass in 2 hours of fishing time. Of the 19 cleaned for frying, ONLY ONE had a bluegill in his belly!! Crazy, being I see bluegill everywhere in the pond right? 18 empty stomachs....
I will keep harvesting these small bass between 8-12 inches until the RW of all bass shows progress! Who knows how many that will take, but it is certainly MORE than you may imagine.
