Hey, Norm - long time, no see. Question:

 Quote:
Except for the BG, all of the other species will eventually die out. For me, this is good. I can constantly adjust the species competition of our lake any way I want. For example, it is often said that LMB will outcompete SMB in a small lake. Not in our lake. Since neither species reproduce


Is the reason LMB can't reproduce because of the intense predation/competition going on? It seems that if BG have suitable spawning substrate, LMB should too. Now the LMB having essentially zero recruitment (in such a busy pond), I can understand.
