The body color and stripes by the mouth aren't a shellcracker.

I've had numerous small ponds over the years,really hard to manage one as small as yours.That bass is undernourished ,I would take a few out and eat them. Better to have fewer healthy fish than more poor ones. Good fishing

Just in that pic I see an aluminum skiff, dude wearing wifebeater in crocs, some type of donkey pen, above ground pool, and a 20 yr old swingset. You definitely belong in the OB.

The boat is to ride my little girl around in, that way when we go fishing in my other boat she isnt scared of it!
I didnt know you couldnt wear wifebeaters as under shirts!thats a dog cage! Wuts wrong with an above ground pool for the kid to play in? The swing set is maybe 5.... they make em the exact same as back then though....im actually in the process of building her wooden on with a playhouse. The crocs, I got nuthin, something easy to slip on, doesnt matter if they get muddy, the only time I wear em is to fish and do stuff around the house when its wet out! But good eye!

that is a nice bass, but it is pretty damn skinny...

are you throwing any feed at all?....if not, I would throw a scoop or so each day to try to bump up the bream production in there...

This one does look skinny compared to a few others ive caught! They have unlimited bream in there, probably borderline too many! If u walk around the edge you see tons of bream, all sizes too! So i dont think the bass are overpopulated yet, in fact its pretty hard to catch em cuz they are never hungry for my bait! I see quite a few decent size but nothing to make me worry just yet! I do plan on cooking some of those suckers soon tho!

This is a picture of my pond(when it froze over this year). You cant really see how wide it is, i have a point on the right side, thats what you see on the edge. On the left side it widens a lil more. its not big, but its a decent size, my water was pretty low, but u get the idea.

This one has a little bit more water...

a coworker of mine has a pond about that size and we talk about it all the time...I think I would really enjoy managing the whole thing....

you ever check out the pondboss board?....lot of good info on there....

I remember when my great uncle told me to go get one... the bass go crazy for a tiny torpedo in his pond! But ever since then if the time is right, I will not leave without throwing one a few times at least!
