In many cases, you’re supposed to do this. With sunfish in the midwest (and many other species in ponds and lakes) the carrying capacity is expressed in mass. So you can have lots of tiny fish or few big fish. On our pond we always encouraged people to keep (or throw away) all the “undersized” bluegill so the other fish could get larger. My husband kept the little ones and got really good at filleting them quickly. Fried bluegills made a good contribution to breakfasts.
