The general answer is to cull all bass under 14 inches after the second year. It's a good trick but has to be done or the bass will over spawn and all but wipe out the forage base.

The mythical balanced pond generally lasts for about 15 minutes. To cull bass, try using a free swimming 4 inch bluegill.

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
