Depending on how frequently anglers fish it, keeping all LMB less than 16" is evidently a good start. Removing that size group should continue to allow you to maintain the high numbers of forage which keeps remaining bass growing well. Do you have any idea how many bass were removed from 10 acres in 2020? Do you monitor the CPUE (catch per unit effort) of all anglers? This would be LMB caught per hour of each angler.
