TJ,

That is something to think about... We shall see at what point I start taking the largest SMB out. The current idea of 18" I believe had something to do with mouth gape vs pounds of forage to sustain that fish (I'll look at my notes at home).

Though you do make me wonder if I should consider changing my "toss" size of BG from 6-9 to say 4-8. I only filet the ones that are 7+ inches. The other ones either get put in a live well for fishing the next day or tossed into the woods.

As of right now, I am feeding Aquamax 500. Thinking this year I may switch to the 600 though.
