There's an old pond recipe that says, after the 2nd year of stocking, remove every bass shorter than 14 inches. You can't catch them all and it's hard to catch enough to help. However, it does need to be done. Yesterday, I tossed two 4 inch bass and three 7 to 12 inch ones up on the bank.
And, I released one that would go about 3 pounds. I released it by tying a lousy knot and only getting it to the bank. DAMN!!! However, it would have gone back in anyway.
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.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
