Walt will answer I am sure but you are correct. As a teenager I literally fished almost every pond...lake....in Sumner county. They either had great bass fishing....small Gills....or big Gills and stunted bass. Pond management requires some time and effort. We had two small lakes on my moms farm. One had giant bass and stunted Gills. The other one had mediocre bass and huge Gills. My dentist has a 9 acre lake chock full of 9 pound bass.......but the Gills in there are stunted.....no management. But he doesn't want big Gills so I guess it works for him.
