Remember YP, at least larger ones - adults) are primarily a predatory fish (meat eating opportunist) and to achieve decent numbers and decent sizes for harvest YP should have ample food to eat which if you're not using pellet trained YP then it means small fish and larger invertebrates which are also primary bass foods. This then creates competition and then "someone" gets shorted on food unless all densities are kept low or forage fish numbers high.
