tinkling in the wind. Heavy harvesting of large BG is only taking away forage producing fish. What are you looking for in the pond? Large bass...balanced pond with good BG and bass fishing? Keep harvesting the slot bass, leave most of the big BG alone. Do you have any more forage, minnows or other? With that size lake, you probably need golden shiners and maybe also threadfin shad next spring. Too late for them now.
