I would monitor the bass growth by their relative weights. Once their relative weights start going below 100 then I would get aggressive and harvest those sized bass (length wise) and the next year class below them. That will allow the appropriately sized forage fish to recover.

When I say aggressive, I'm talking about 20# or more of bass removed per surface acre.
