I'm fairly new to fishing other than as a boy 40 years ago and normally fish a small pond with plenty of 1 or 2 pound bass. These bass seem strong and healthy but I've never seen bluegill of any size taken out of this pond. A friend said some of the bass needed to be harvested to allow the bluegill and remaining bass a chance to increase in size. The pond has been stocked for 13 or 15 years. Any opinion on wether to keep releasing or keep a few. The owner is alright with keeping some.
