Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Help disprove the myth of a LMBass only lake?

Great analogy, Bullhead.

2cat, I'm sure most of us here feel that BG/LMB being instrinsically unstable is a bunch of hooey. From what I've seen, the most common outcome from this combo if unmanaged is stunted bass/large BG - the exact opposite of what was warned about above.

However, anecdotal evidence from the internet may not sway the staucnhest of LMB-only advocates. Perhaps our professional fish squeezers or the forum library experts could provide references to recent professional papers stating otherwise - the closer to Michigan (in Latitude, at least), the better.
