Bill, that's the way to get the dreaded and often maligned GSF. You need to eliminate them before you get your wrist broken when they bite. And if they bite you on the finger, you can change your logon name to stubby.
I find that my GSF are ever willing to help me dispose of fingerling LMB in my bass heavy pond. I'll occasionally toss a few dazed YOY bass out to the green sharks. I certainly get a kick out of the way the GSF streak from 10' or 15' away to nail the baby bass floundering on the surface. Paybacks certainly are H**l. It is my experience that a lip hooked 3" long LMB will interest any GSF in the pond.
Earlier this summer I traded 20 LMB to a guy for 26 GSF. That seems to have made a noticeable reduction in the plethora of YOY LMB, and that's the direction I want to go.
