Growing Big Bass: "Shock and Stock" - The Management Advantage

- When it comes to growing big bass, management of your pond is key. There is more to it than just stocking a pond and waiting a few years to catch big fish. Forage needs to be readily available and the health of your bass need to be monitored. This week, we're with Southeastern Pond Management as they perform an initial electroshocking evaluation and stock a pond with bluegill.
The initial electroshocking evaluation basically creates a map of the pond. It gives insight into forage populations as well as predators. As fish are netted, they are tagged to check their growth rates. Small pieces of their fins are clipped, which causes no harm, to check their genetics. In this particular pond, they're checking the genetics of the bass to pinpoint the reason behind the lack of fish over 8 pounds. By confirming their genetics, they'll be able to determine the problem and create a plan to fix the issue.
Southeastern Pond is also stocking a pond with 3-5 inch bluegill to improve the forage available. You can't grow big bass if they don't have an adequate amount of food. The proper time to add bluegill in the south is spring and fall or November thru March. These pond management tasks and many others are what Southeastern Pond specializes in.

Sure am happy to see a company like yourselves to be so educated and caring for the fish environment...up in Montana they just tossed in fish in the middle of summer and it only be a few hours before all of them were floatin
That's sad to hear. Definitely not the greatest time to be stocking fish.
where do i apply? my god this looks fun
Awesome video and great work! Do you know the name/artist of the ending song? Thanks.
Will FL big bass survive in colder winter months if we were to buy some to transplant them in Kansas? We typically have our ponds freeze over once a year for a week but do have creeks running through.
Do you guys do work in oklahoma
What would u think a rough estimate would cost to make a pond plus buy land

Wait so you kill everything to see what's In there?...or do the fish survive the shock?
It just stuns them and allows us to net, tag, and return them to the water unharmed.
