I think the best way to work around the bass hype would be with better bass hype - the performance and better size possibilities of Female LMB and/or HSB in a small pond due to predator numbers control. But I'm one of those types who wants a lot of small bass to get big BG, so I may not be the best to get an opinion on this from. \:\(
