re: How to fatten up pond Bass and Crappie post-spawn

Plus, bass will not eat crappie after they get more than a couple inches long. Too many spines. And since crappie spawn so early, their fry will chow down on bass and bream fry. My cousin won’t allow us to throw back any (white perch, he’s in The Landmass). Said if they are too small to clean, throw them up on the bank and let the crows and coons eat them.
