ok......so are the greenies a joke? am i missing something subtle that goes on between fishery managers? I sense that i could cut the tension on that one with a knife....

the small BG's could be seasonal...sluggish predators in the winter might not be knocking down the lil BG population.

Also, a stomach survey of the emaciated bass showed tiny minnows as what they were feeding on, and minnows of like size were the bait of choice for the crappie, while wax worms worked as well (waxies were bait of choice for the bluegill).

And i've never seen a crayfish stack in the lake. I'm thinking a medium forage species must exist for there to have grown a walleye of that size, but i've never seen them.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
