Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Is this possible???

They are taking feed from your BG AND from you LMB. Look at the size of their mouth, now look at a LMB that has a mouth that same size. The GSF will eat a ton of little YOY fish just like a smaller LMB would.

I've seen a pond without a top end predator that had GSF, RES YP, GSH and FHM. There was no recruitment from anything except the GSF, they ate all the other YOY.

If you are putting/will have LMB in the pond, just toss any of the GSF that you catch on the bank for the coons to eat, or clean them. Once the LMB get established, then the GSF won't be a top end predator any more and many will be eaten by the LMB.
