Need more info about the pond. It sounds like you are describing a LMB crowded pond. It is very common. LMB crowded ponds have lots of small 8-12in. LMB ,few 2-4 lb. LMB and a few large LMB 5+lbs, also few 3-5 in. BG and some large BG 8+ in. Are LMB thin with heads that look to big? Do you see many 3-5in. BG? Tell us about the pond. Once we find out the status of the pond's biology then we can look at why the catch rate is low. ewest

PS I see you have same ? on another thread I will copy this there and go forward with one thread only.
