What sizes do you pull out of the pond? Where's the cut off to keep vs cull? My pond will be at this point pretty soon.
It's only a good cast if you catch a fish...
Personal Best: 11.62 lbs

16", what's that, a 2 1/2 or 3 lb fish? That's a sweet cull size...WOW! But, as you said, that's the reason the big un's are in there!

Similar to what we do, aggressive harvest on bass under about 14” and all of the crappie get kept, small ones throw on the bank, big ones in the cooler, catfish get to go back to get fat and keep the very small bullhead and warmouth population from ever becoming an issue.

Awesome looking fish. Wished you were closer to me I would buy the culls.
Before anyone voices their opinion on buying bass or selling them, you can do this from private waters just not public waters.

Man that would be awesome if you were closer .
I am having to restock my pond. Last year it got low and low on oxygen and I lost pretty much everything I had .
I have a aerator now. Just want some adult size fish to start growing and give my grandkids something to catch.
