Yeah, interesting how the YP all seem to be doing better than the Walleye.
That's typical. YP have a bigger forage base of foods in a pond to pick from where WE are pretty much piscivorous. Sure, WE eat things besides fish in the wild (and in a pond), but how many of those "other things" does a regular pond owner have in their pond for the WE to eat? YP consume a LOT more benthic macroinvertebrates than WE do, and a pond owner has a lot of those in their pond in addition to the other things that YP eat (like fish pellets).
