I have a 5.5 acre pond that has LMB and BG in it. It's never been managed before and the majority of the bass are 13" and weigh 0.8 lbs.

We started keeping all bass under 14" this year and actually haven't caught anything bigger... We are trying to take out 200 lbs of bass, but I'm not so sure we will get there.

The BG are mostly smaller as well. The pond doesn't have much cover, so maybe they are just getting eaten before they get a chance to escape the bass.

I'd like to improve the body weights of both the LMB and the BG. I could introduce structure, feeding, GSH or another food source if it would help get the weights up.

Any suggestions?
