Catching that many small bass while bluegill fishing is a really good sign for your bluegill. It means that very possibly your bass are overpopulated, which is the ideal state for a pond being managed for big bluegill. Don't keep any of them - they'll keep your small bluegill thinned out so the few that survive past fingerling stage will have many times more food per fish, and will grow exponentially faster than in a pond in which the bluegill are crowded.
You probably have very few, if any, large bass - but that's the way you want it if your goal is big bluegill.

Walt I caught 8 bas yesterday while fishing for gills. Fish were 8 to 12 inches. Like I said I've never seen any but I don't know how a pond can be 15 years old with no large bass. I'm really going to try to clue in on the bass to see if I can find any larger ones.

You actually don't want big bass in a pond you're managing for big bluegill, because that usually means there aren't enough small bass. Do you regularly catch bass in the 10-12" range? If so, you're in good shape.

Don't know if I have any big bass Walt as far as I know probably the biggest is a couple pounds. I have had bass in there for 15 years never saw anything big which don't mean there not in there just that I haven't seen them. I know I have a lot more cats to come out.

Hey Dick wheres the pics of that great new tube? No voyage on that great pond yet? Heres a tip when putting on your fins put each hook up to the inside not on the outside of the fins. Makes it alot easier when putting them on & taking off.
