Walt you are entitled to your opinion. You are however by making the statement "I personally feel that the studies that try to claim that TS or gizzard shad either one do not affect bluegill size, are at the very best poorly substantiated and researched with shoddy methods and conclusions, and at worst just skewed science." , questioning the ability and ethics of a number of professionally trained Fisheries Scientists and because the studies were peer reviewed the credibility of the AFS publication review process. IMO that is an unfounded and baseless accusation.
