I have a 3 1/2 acre pond in Parker County Tx. where I continue to battle coontail but now I may have a different concern? I don't know why but I stocked some black crappie a couple of years ago (just a few 3 inchers) and now I am catching more crappie than LMB. My goal is to grow some 4lb+ LMB's and I am concerned the crappie may now be the alpha dogs in the pond? As you can see per the attached, the black crappie I am catching are healthy with mouths the size of LMB's. Afraid they may be eating more than their share of blue gill. Should I start culling all the black crappie I can catch if I want that 4 lb+ LMB?

Thanks
