#1158, "RE: paso robles ponds- major bass spankin'" In response to In response to 0
I know this is almost heresy(sp?), but if you run into a pond with only tons of small bass (12"ers) keep a few because they might be eating themselves out of getting bigger. If they seem suicidally aggressive, as in 4 or 5 charging down a poorly presented lure, there is probably too much competition for food and keeping a few will let the rest have more food and grow larger. If your pretty much the only fisherman they see and nothing else is eating them, they can stunt.
