Bullhead,
I'm sitting here scratching my head on that one. I'm trying to imagine a scenario where prey species would be abundant yet their predators skinny.
If you have say huge catfish that keep the LMB ducking for cover instead of hunting, I suppose that could be 1 way. Even then, the BG would run for the same cover, and the LMB would have easy pickings. LMB are so much faster than catfish, I don't even know if they would be a problem. I've certainly seen healthy crappie and LMB coexist in smallish ponds.
CJ, maybe you can help educate me on that. My BC are starting to get around 15", so I need to know what to look out for.
