  1. Alright. So on top of the lakes and rivers I have access too, I also have three private ponds that I have full access too. Meaning I can harvest / come and go as I please. Sounds great right ? Well. It is, except for the one that my grandmother owns. Its a little over an acre and a half . the bass are stunted .they're not skinny. They're just small! The pond has been around for a couple decades and was never like this . I don't know what to do.. the bluegill are huge. Like gigantic. There's some crappie in there that are decent. And the bass are just pathetic .biggest I caught out of it this past summer was just over a pound and like 14in. Most going around 8-10. I've been told harvest. But what do I do.? What would you do.? Should I stock minnows ? Remove the bluegill ? And the bass ? I'm so lost and disappointed.
  2. My buddy just built a house on a 30+ year old fishing pond in Virginia. Within a year of living there the pond has produced (3) 10+lbs pigs. Problem #1 - The pond is stunted. Other than those 3 massive bass, all fish caught are under 2 pounds or crappie. Problem #2 - The pond can't be harvested. My buddy's Home Owner's Association (HOA) has a catch-and-release policy and members are strongly against changing the policy. Questions - How did you convince folks that killing a few fish is better than all fish starving? Would you please share any articles or expertise we can use to arm my buddy for his next round with the HOA?
