You don't have enough small bass. I would remove LMB > 14" and replace them by an equal weight of 8" to 10" LMB. I might even add a few more. The pond is old enough to have BG > 10". So they are piling up at small sizes.

Target BG in the 5" to 7" range. Do not release females in this range. Try to remove a minimum of 25 lbs concentrated in this size. This fall, if you are under quota use larger BG favoring females to fill it out.

Go to "Growing some big bluegill". Everything you need to know is there.
