Both LMB and HSB would eat small LMB and CNBG. Small LMB are easier for the bigger fish to swallow as they do not have the long spines/fins like CNBG.

My guess is to do the drawdown and hold back the growout pond CNBG until winter when the water goes back up. That should result in fewer small LMB and more spawning sized CNBG next spring.
