Bass stocked as fry in spring 2022

[@Ryan_Baldwin]

tryin to get my one acre pond back going but it’s tough. Went from stunted to them growing but now it seems like they’re all about 1.20 pounds a piece with a handful over 2 pounds or just touching it. Have added about 1000 bluegill and have pulled out about 15 pound of fish each year

It takes a few years, stay the course

@@aquaticbiologist6516would you say pull more fish? On year 3, definitely getting longer and a little heavier just not fatter

@@Ryan_Baldwin are there crappie in the pond?

@@aquaticbiologist6516no crappie, 1 acre has bluegill bass and a few channel cats

@Ryan_Baldwin sounds like they were stunted for a long time. Keep pulling the skinny bass out. They are probably too old to gain weight properly. You are managing the pond so the reproduction can grow up healthy. Your adult fish are useless, I’ve seen it many times. I usually pull 20 pounds of fish per acre for 2-3 years so bumping it up sounds good to me
