Four years ago all we ever caught in our pond was skinny 12" bass and fat bluegill. I stumbled across the pond boss forum and learned all I could. We started keeping all bass that were underweight, which was pretty much all of them early on. We also had the pond limed and set a harvest goal (which we've met every year). Now we regularly catch some very nice bass. Here's the latest. It was 9 pounds on my scale. Thank you, Pond Boss.
She doesn't look as big in this picture. But I have long arms (I'm 6'6"). So I think that's why.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
John Kelsey liming helps keep the base of the eco system alive and vibrant if the pond needs it. Calcium is the building block of all life. No cell, not even a simple bacteria cell, can be made with out available calcium. Available at the correct PH.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'll do my best to pass along what I've learned so other people can get full enjoyment out of their ponds as well. This stuff really works.
