We took out 9 CNBG and 3 GSF (or hybrid BG) all 8 inches or bigger and put back anything smaller. I want to have large forage base for LMB and HSB. A 3.5 lb HSB is in the last photo.

The first one is 10 inches and 1 lb 6 oz. My wife caught this one.
Great fish archer.
I do the opposite, by taking out the females and leave the males for trophy class fish.
IMO Overton has some of the best CNBG in the country.
