Fixing/replenishing a pond... (bass are tiny)
Also the pond has improved since we purchased our property. It used to be all the bass were around 10 inches then a neighbor stocked it with some feeder minnows. Doubt it I’ve fished it with other anglers and neighbors and we all just ended up scratching our heads. I had heard the fish used to be be giants and the gills and crappie still are. The gills are all about 9 inches.

Fixing/replenishing a pond... (bass are tiny)
The pond is about 5 acres and honestly the fish don’t seem to be overpopulated I spend just as much time catching them as any other pond and their chunky not skinny just they all don’t seem to grow in length. Could the blue gill population affect them?

Fixing/replenishing a pond... (bass are tiny)
So I’ve known for awhile now that my own pond is terrible. I’ve tried some things and done research but never really found out what is conclusively the problem. My bass are all 12-14 inches tops. 16 inches is my pb for it and I fish the pond nearly everyday. The pond is a decently large quarry with long flats or straight drop offs and very clear water. The bass are usually not aggressive what so ever. The pond also has some vegetation on the side but no water running in or out of it. I have one idea: the bass have reproduced so many times and were at one point stunted until people took fish out that the fish have the same small genetic makeup. I read that in an article about introducing new genes to help your body of water. Anyways I also have a couple solutions: Introduce normal large mouth to change the genes if that’s an issue, introduce a friends hybrid largies. (Gorilla Bass and Florida strain I believe) this would make a more aggressive bass that would consume more gills and grow more, lastly stock more prey fish in the form of “feeder” minnows. I might be a dreamer or making stuff up but I have no clue on what I’m doing I just want to figure this out and get your advice and intelligence. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Pro-staff Response Time
Okay I just thought they’d send me the discount code as confirmation. I’m going to place an order anyways and begin to promote and tag them in photos. Hopefully they did register me as part of the team that would be a plus but I want some fresh jigs anyways thanks for the help!

Pro-staff Response Time
He ended the email with a question so I'd assume he'd respond right? Would it be pushy to message them on Instagram as a confirmation?

Pro-staff Response Time
I'm in a sticky situation. I applied for a pro-staff position with a company called cranked fishing. They make beautiful jigs and I love to throw the jig it seemed like a match made in heaven. Anyways I sent in the form. Two days later they emailed me saying they would love to have me on the team and asked if I read all their pro-staff information. I was ecstatic I quickly responded saying indeed I did. Now its been a week with no response. I'm afraid they forgot about me.? What do I do? I could easily direct message them on my social media platform but that seems unprofessional and impatient. I want to benefit their company as soon as I can, but I don't know whether or not to wait longer.

How to find my reels bearings size?
I recently purchased the Quantum Smoke S3 PT. I wanted to buy ceramic bearings for it and keep the factory made ones. The only problem is that I don't know how to find their dimensions. I found the schematics in the box but it doesn't mention their size.

New To Fishing
Buy an ultra light walmart special spinning reel and you'll never lose interest?. Also the silvermax is a great setup to begin with. If you find yourself a good farm pond and a confidence bait you'll be set. Once you invest in a setup and hook into a nice fish you can't go back eventually you'll be skipping jigs under docks and pulling out toads. Good luck and tight lines! A walmart special that functions btw?

Are all polarized glasses the same quality of polarization?
I tried this out once and I was slightly surprised. My Kast King glasses worked great and were an outright bargain but my oakleys worked better. I believe what the others said is true though its all about the other features like tint that make a difference in most situations.

Tips Appreciated
My jig knowledge isn't huge but swim jigs i will swim thru grass and stop ever so often and finnesse jigs i will yo yo lightly (yo yoing is pulling the bait off the bottom then letting it settle) and football heads I drag. And overall sign up for bassmaster and buy some books that's what I did.
