Lefthorn, we are going to have to disagree on this one. And no it is not wrong information. As a general rule of thumb, in a properly balanced, properly fertilized pond or lake, you need to be removing 5 times the the poundage of bream that you are of bass to maintain a proper balance. LSU and a bunch of the AG colleges that have a fisheries management degree program recommend this ratio if not more. Here's an excerpt from some of LSU's published pond management literature.

"Whether you keep track of numbers or pounds of fish, most of the fish harvested from a bass-bream pond should be bream. A general recommendation is to harvest at least 5 pounds and as much as 10 pounds of bream for every pound of bass. In many instances, any bluegill which is caught should be removed from the pond, whether it is large enough to eat or not. Redear sunfish are not as prolific as bluegill and may be thrown back except when bream populations are extremely high. "
