    I firmly believe in C/R of bass, but in this case harvesting some of the fish from this pond would not be a bad idea. It's apparent from the pictures that they don't have enough forage to sustain the population of bass that live in that impound. I think that even if you add crawfish and goldfish you will still have a problem. In a case like this "ONLY"!! keeping a few here and there could help turn things around and the fish would be much healthier. Just my thoughts, but hey, I'm not a biologist.

    Sounds like it might work.

    ^Put them somewhere else, plenty of little ponds here and there with lots of forage, not enough bass...

    Not that I'm suggesting violating any DFG laws, of course. Just thinking out loud.

    I'm not sure if I would eat a fish in that state either, but placing them into another pond/lake could work if they survived the transplant. I only suggest that if you do put a fish in another lake or pond just make sure it's a healthy one. These fish on bowlers post don't look too healthy and could have some type of other issues besides just starving. I haven't seen them first hand but before I did something like that I would probably perform a makeshift autopsy on one. I'd check for a number of things like internal and external parasites, abnormal organ features and so forth, because the absolute worst thing we can do as responsible fisherman is expose one of your favorite honey holes and its fish to a group of potential mates that have major problems. That would not be good, I would say that if you did remove a fish from this spot and your not comfortable eating it, I personally know fish do make great plant fertilizer and/or your local cat, raccoon or even a possum will be very appreciative of a free meal. Again, I want to reiterate I "only" suggest harvesting a bass under this particular circumstance and that if you are a true bass fisherman at heart like I am, you will practice Catch and Release when fishing for this species of fish.

    This pic of the bass is from the same pond but it was caught of 5 years ago and there was nothing wrong with him. Some one said that they might have let there eggs out of them already. I do not know but i will try to caught some crawdad and but them in the pond so the have some to eat.

    Alot of things can happen in five years browler. I've caught fish that have just spawned out and they don't look that way at all. Trust me those fish aren't eating regular and may even have other issues going on we may not be aware of with running test.

    I know a lot of thing can happen in five years. I am going to try the crawdad to see if that work. The person that owned the pond think sold the house and he took care of it. Now it is owned by someone else and i think they do not care about the fish in there.
