Agree ! Red = my edit.

All - Good learning point here based on the pics. A classic unmanaged LMB/BG pond in the south. Many small low RW LMB , a few ok (85 RW) midsize bass , some large BG and one or two very large dominant LMB (older females)

BTW nice catch and fish (LMB and BG).

Question BranClanFarm - did you see many mid sized BG (3-5 inch) ?
