What separates a sport fisherman from a commercial fisherman is the fact that sport fisherman fish for FUN not for food. Please i can understand somebody keeping a middle size or a couple of small fish once or twice a year but that right there is crazy. i mean i dont know how big that pond is but i dont agree with "PLENTY of big bass left" argument at all. Dusty you seriously need to study some fish biology before making some of the comments you have made.

Many lakes become stunted or overrun with numbers of smaller fish
That happens BECAUSEEEE of OVER harvest of BIG FISH not under harvest of fish in a lake.You dont have to look too far. you just have to open up the DEP's lakes and pond maps guide and read a few pages in the begining. And please Dusty and Bass rebel. i dont see any sense in the deer population comments or comments which say he did that he does that he keeps ten he keeps the big deer, he jumps into a well so i ll do the same.... I am not for those who say dont keep a fish at all. no.BUT 5 fish of that size in one day is too much. its not about how many you kept in 30 years or a hundered. its how many did you take from the current living one's in one day and what effect THAT has on the lake.remember you dint keep those 30 from one lake in 30 years. enjoy your fish
