I've been throwing back all the bluegill and bass. The bluegill I have caught seem healthy and normal sized. I have yet to catch a bass over a pound. The bass don't seem to be overpopulated - my theory at the moment is that I'm catching the smaller bass and that there may be bigger bass that are eating crappie as forage. The crappie are of a size that a 3lb bass could proabbly swallow the smaller ones whole.

I also put out some crayfish traps in my ponds - one with catfood - the other with fish heads. Got nada over a period of several days. There are some kind of land based crayfish around pond that build little chimneys tho.
