Back off on the bass and keep putting in the BG. The bass are eating machines that take 10 pounds of forage to increase by one pound.

I like to think of a pond like a pasture with the BG as grass (forage) and the bass as cows (grass predators). Assume that you now have 10 cows on 35 newly planted acres of forage. Everytime that a BG spawns, the babies will be eaten before they can grow to be a respectable mouthful. Have a bunch of fun BG fishing the other ponds and think of them as nothing more as a renewable protien source.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
