I see the effects of winterkill far too often because I tend to fish very shallow ponds. I've fished this pond for about 8 years and first time I've seen it. I knew before I reached the water with the smell in the air. Thankfully far more dead bluegills - all adults - than bass. Seeing big bass corpses like that breaks your heart. But obviously some survived so they'll spawn & grow bigger this year.
