Ok so were always talking about whether or not HSB can control BG numbers and usually the answer is no even it they are aggressive and here is why. Look at these 2 pics. They are both 5 pounds within an ounce of each other. Look at how much smaller the HSB's mouth is v.s. the LMB. That's why they cant control BG's very well.

Look below. I know it seems easy to understand but once you see the difference in the mouth then you can really see why.

It's plain to see the HSB just does not have the mouth for controlling BG. At least not after 3 to 4 inch BG.

You don't really get how small a HSB's mouth is until you have handled larger HSB.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

That's exactly right Sunil. They really are not much bigger than a large say 2.5 lbs crappie that's about it.
