John, my first thought is that's not such a bad problem to have, depending on your goals I guess.

I was under the impression that the larger predators, HSB and LMB (say 14"-18"+) are not so much hungry for the YOY as they are when those YOY reach the 2"-4"+ range?

I have a ratio of 10% HBG to 90% BG and am always hoping for a boom spawn out of them for the sake of more forage for the HSB and LMB growth.

And thinking that the problem arises when I have too many BG in the 8"-10" range, too big for predation, as far as having a goal of big LMB and HSB.

Am I completely off base in that?

(edit - I was typing while TJ responded, which addressed my question/post)
