James that article is what about ten years old now? I agree with kedric. The reason we stock gizzard shad when bass are bigger is in hopes they stay ahead of the gizzards shad. They remain controversial but in your case they are a big reason your bass are as healthy as they are. Why do they overpopulate- well when you have a limited number of big bass they can get huge tie up biomass and nothing to control them.

For you- you got them , they are nto to big, you have big bass. Monitor to keep and eye on bass and GZ growth. If population decreaes in bass and Wr is very high buy some more bass from Todd. I for one think you have a great setup that is even better with the aeration system now in place. Get ready to catch some monster bass over the next few years.
