Ever fished a pond that seemed like it had nothing but small bass in it? This can happen with ponds over time if they are not properly managed.
In this video we’ll tell you the top four reasons why a bass population in a pond might be underperforming, and what you can do about it. We’ll also tell you our tried and true strategy for catch and release. Which fish should you keep and eat, and which ones should you return to the pond?

The first thing I want to mention is that you call this "a pond". I agree as much as it is possible and still be sensible to agree with you. Not that it is an issue, but it seems that we have accredited agencies who are supposed to be the experts telling us that a pond is one thing, and a lake is another. My opinion only. Dont' get mad. They are all ponds. If it's round, square, or has some sort of geometric shape with points, peninsulas, or even a cove of some kind, it's still a pond. Lake Okeechobee, now that's a lake. Lake Cumberland, Kentucky Lake, Land between the Lakes, in Kentucky, those are lakes. Just because you dig some 10 acre hole in the ground that runs 8 feet deep doesn't mean you have a lake. Even if it has a spillway, not a lake. Herrington lake in Kentucky used to be a town……until they flooded it. Guntersville from the air looks like the Mississippi river, but it isn't, it's a dammed up area of a river they call Guntersville Lake. The second thing I learned, the pond I fish the most among the ponds I'm allowed to fish, two of them have the no bass removal clause. I could care less, I'm catch and release all the way, I don't eat fish. I do however trophy hunt, where fishing is concerned. My primary pond has, I know this because I caught him, or her, not sure, a 6 pound 8 ounce bass in it. It has several 3 and 4 pound fish. But it doesn't have the ambush structure. I think that is the most important thing I learned from this video. I have one question. Does a leak in the pond affect biting action? If the fish are too busy trying not to get caught in the shallow end, do they sacrifice feeding for safety?
Yes! I would love to get one of your cull sticks.

I am interested in the cull stick. Could you possibly offer it as a sticker that could be applied on the center bench of a john boat? Great information in these videos. Also, what area of Georgia do you cover? I am located in central Ga. and am interested in adding some F1 bass to my pond. I've been managing it for about 2 years now and have been slowing turning it around.
Hello, a friend has a 10 acre pond full of 9-11" bass, and also healthy bluegill. There are no large bass and many of them are stunted. My plan was to remove about 500 fish per year. Draining the pond, electroshocking or poisoning is not allowed by the owner. I was able to catch about 50 fish the other day and removed them. Have you heard of a pond this size being restored through fishing, or is that an unrealistic goal? Thank you.
stocking some Flatheads will help I would think.
I'd be interested
