Skeeter Joe, with white perch present you likely have to put up with skinny LMB to keep the white perch under control. In the 1800 acre lake near Lincoln that has Gshad and White Perch our Game & Parks department has stocked the lake heavily with flathead catfish to combat the white perch, the problem is that the flathead also eat the other more desirable fish in the lake too. With Gshad present the white operch rarely exceed 5" in this lake. Here is a picture of a 40# flathead from last year from this lake lots of white perch & Gshad. I'm sure this one could easily eat a 5lb bass for lunch. \:o
