An Average Day on a World-class Pond

I and our new assistant fisheries biologist Greta fished our best trophy-bluegill pond for approximately four hours on July 27. In that time, a three-pound, a four-pound, a four-and-a-half-pound, and a five-pound largemouth were caught, along with a 1.6-pound bluegill. Here are the two largest fish (Greta caught both):This is from a 1.1-acre pond that is managed for trophy bluegill, and to which absolutely nothing has been done to help the bass since we began working with the pond in June 2014.
