take pictures of the fish as you tag....measure and weigh them - calculate RW% and keep a record of all the bass you can. Exceptional RW Bass can have a fin clipped in addition to the tag so you can track that individual fish throughout its lifecycle.

I would remove as many low RW bass ass possible. Remove the larger GSF


Start feeding your fish...there is no better way to get children involved and help grow bigger bass than feeding them. Your existing bass should feed train extremely quick.

Adding BG and CC will just make it harder to grow the big bass you want - at this point anyway. Are you looking to add them as put and take food?
