Eric & Bruce point out how complex this topic is. Eric's references are those I was trying to remember. Eric does good work providing past topic information for us. Thanks from all of us.

I think one of the main points we should get from this discussion is to not manage as much for quantity as quality. Keep the densities below high numbers and strive for managing to produce healthy fish that have a good percentage of quality or memorable size. This means put more focus on proper harvest and balance rather on just high numbers.
