Hi Chip,
Your YP population would be in much better shape and be able to maintain good YP recruitment if the pond had HSB as the only predators. I have seen where too many HSB can also prevent YP recritment in a small pond. I am very interested to see what YP you can catch this spring. I am pretty confident that the 15"-17" LMB find the 7"-9" YP very agreeable and tasty.
