i have heard here before that an excessive BG population could negatively affect or even prevent the spawning success of lmb in small waters.

now, what if someone (certainly not me) was crazy enough to try and manage for GSF as top predator in the presence of numerous BG. would the same relationship apply as w/ lmb, or in your experience, are GSF aggressive enough to continue to stake out their own territory and successfully recruit?

original stocking numbers as of two years ago was ~30 adult GSF which spawned twice before stocking ~1500 BG one year ago. would you care to speculate on what i might see this year?

if you answer "no" and "no" my feelings wont be hurt \:D

thanks for any input bob, thanks for doing this tonight, this is really cool, and glad i could squeeze in a question.
