check out the pond boss forums. they have some formulas to find out how many pounds you should cull a year per surface acre. I wanna say its about 40-50 pounds per acre/year for bass and bream. my fish are still babies so I haven't gotten to start culling yet. already started stocking up on peanut oil though

5 acre lake w/ bass, bream, sac-a-lait, few cats - Typical trip i catch one or two 4-6 lbers, and a few small ones. The small ones are usually around 12" fish.

I cant be sure but i think maybe one other guy fishes regularly, and i'm not sure if he keeps anything. I have been catch and release mainly cause i never catch a mess of 2lbers.

What should i keep? There seems to be tons of bream in the lake and not much cover as far as grass but it does have some nice depth to it around 12 feet in the middle.
