re: Keeping bass from a lake/pond

The best pond I've ever fished is a private pond in Mississippi. Catch 25-30 every time we go and have caught one over 6 the past 4 times we've gone. Owner required you put back anything from 2lbs to 4lbs. You can keep anything else if you wish. He has 3 other ponds on his place and that's the rule he has for all of them. I'd rather fish any of those 3 ponds than any other place in the world. We spend 2 days at their camp last May and caught 224 bass over 12 inches in those ponds so safe to say his plan works.
