Here's my question: Does overstocking TP help the larger LMB, but not the smaller? If so, how?

Anybody else experienced anything similar?


Anthropic I would think it would depend what size the tilapia were when you stocked them, were they to big to be eaten by the LMB or feed for them . I thought smaller LMB fed on smaller food. So if the smaller LMB are thin - either too many of them or not enough enough bait to feed em .... just thinkin out load
