Dwight give us your thoughts on the fish population , balance by size , type and condition etc.

Possible :

Big danger - a reproducing NP population , not enough predation on YP , crappie and BG.

Depending on your answer my thought is to go slowly on removing all the big NP. Movements in fish population rebalancing are better done slowly if the existing populations are in or near balance. If they are out of balance the faster changes are in order.

My guess , pending your data, is to remove 20% by weight of the big NP and enough of the crappie and LMB under 14 inches to equal your normal harvest plus the weight of the WE and SMB you are going to add.
