Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Sunfish explosion...Help

I've no experience with trout, other than catching and eating them, but if your water temps stay cool enough for them to thrive, they'd definitely put a dent in your smaller fish. Their mouth gape wouldn't do much for reducing the larger ones tho, so you might want to consider LMB as well. They'll eat anything up to about 1/3 of their length (12" LMB = 4" sunfish consumption). Then if you want to keep your largest sunfish, remove any LMB larger than say 15" that you catch. You could have a very nice mix of all of them if monitored and managed. With that many sunfish, your predators are gonna grow FAST!!
