Thanks Bill. I will hold out hope that larger YP are actually a predator to be counted in the equation, in the absence of a fusiform minnow population to distract them, when considering PS and BG as forage. Maybe it's not just the bass in the pond? Maybe larger YP also eat spawn from SMB and their own YP spawn and help control them as well?
