LkDoc - Do you have very many ponds stocked with bgill and SMB? Are there very many instances where the bgill have become stunted in a pond with only SMB as predators? Seems likely that the bgill reproduction would often outpace the SMB reproduction esp in a year where SMB reproduction is minimal which often happens. SMB always seem to have more spawn failures and less recruitment than LMB. This is why SMB fingerlings cost more and are usually more scarse than LMB fingerlings.
