I wish crappie could be raise/grown the same but its not possible with the knowledge we currently have.


So your experience is that yellow perch single species can be sustaining and not experience stunting issues when there is no apex predator to control them? I still prefer crappie, but yellow perch are an awesome and delicious species, and if they work great as single-species, they could be a great candidate for a smaller BOW for us...
