Default How can I tell...

Hey everyone I have a farm pond that we own and I think it is overpopulated, its not huge but not to small... I think this because everytime we go out there we catch a ton ofbass but they are all really small about 6 to 7 inches, and this is how its been the last 3 years.. What do you guys think? Is this my problem.. If so should I keep alot of these fish and put them in a different pond, we have several ponds and they will hold fish.. Just want yals opinions and what yal would do?

It sounds like it is overpopulated but you did not give enough info on the size of the pond or what they have to eat in the pond. How deep is the pond also may need to be considerd as well.
