Norm,
I am convinced you have a very good grasp on carrying cap. of a pond/lake as I understand carrying capacity. I think the problem has been in some of us (including me) in trying to convey our thoughts. I'm not a LMB/BG guy. I don't put it down it's just not what I want. I like diversity. It would become boaring if every pond we fished only produced LMB/BG.
However I do understand how it could become difficult for the guy that wants HUGE LMB to manage to that end if he had to contend with other preditors.
