Gasser~~I think moss is a natural thing to happen to a stagnant pond. If the pond is constantly fed by a cold spring this seems to hinder the growth. I have witnessed first hand a pond turn over. It was one of the best bass ponds in my area. It was usually totally covered in moss. I went fishing one day and did great. It rained very hard for two days straight. I came back after it rained and it was not a pretty sight. There were bluegill floating everywhere. I couldn't even get a bite. I guess all the bass that died sunk to the bottom. I don't know what turned the pond over, but I think the real hard rain had something to do with it. On your 2nd question I would say to take some of the smaller bass out. Due to large population a food shortage will occur and the bass won't grow to optimum size. Just My Opinion
