I've said it before Ronnie, the overpopulation of small bass on any lake is
99% of the time based on an inbalance somewhere in the water's ecosystem.
The problem of stunted fish generally means that those fish don't have
enough to eat.

And one reason they don't have enough to eat is there are too many of them.
Remove enough of the small bass that are eating up all the small baitfish and
that allows more baitfish, and more food for the remaining bass, helping to
correct the imbalance. Other than feeding them, I don't know how else to
correct the problem of too little food for too many bass.
