Okay that's understandable I have been fishing this pond for years so I'm in no rush, just curious to why after years of fishing I've never caught a bigger bass. There's got to be atleast a 6 pounder in there.. Atleast

I understand where you guys are coming from, but this pond is private and if you are not given permission to fish it by the owner then he will happily kick you off with a flash of his handgun he keeps on his hip. The same 4-5 fish it (with me included) and I'm the one who is out there the most regularly. All in all, I should probably just spend an afternoon catching the smaller bass and crappie and moving them to another pond? He has multiple ponds on his land.

@ BigMoneyGrip I will absolutely be trying to take out all of the crappie I can. Seems like everyone agrees that crappie are not helping the situation at all. Even though my pond is still over 4 times bigger than yours should I get some minnows to throw in it also?

What do bass really eat? I mean this pond is 4.5 acres and has lots of vegetation so I would think that there is enough for everyone unless I'm mistaken for what bass eat, which I very would could be.

Wow quick replies, obviously there are way too many bass in this pond.. I will try to spread them to different ponds as soon as I get time. Would you suggest starting out with 150 small bass or something like 200-300? Thanks for all the help guys!!

I fish a pond thats about 4.5 acres big stocked with black bass, crappie and blue gill about 7 years ago... We catch an abundance of bass, I mean almost every cast is a fish. This last summer between 3 guys we caught 160 bass within 3 hours but nothing bigger than a pound. We have constantly caught .5 pounders for the last few years and I keep coming back each year thinking I'm sure they have gotten fatter because the pond has tremendous vegetation. 2 years ago a buddy caught a 6 pounder but ever since them we haven't seen anything close. This is a private pond that only about 4 or 5 people fish every other weekend or so.
