OK, I guess that leads me to another question/thought/red light.
Like the air in a balloon, biomass is constrained by dissolved oxygen availability. Your local lakes indicate that the LCS is quite prolific. So are bluegill and FHM but shellcrackers aren't all that prolific. Multiple fish types with high fecundity, even though each have a different niche, all add to the nutrient load. Thus, it becomes a balancing act with a possibility of few winners and a lot of losers.
I don't want to come across as negative or rain on any parades. However, over stocking forage can have the same effect as over fertilizing. Having had some fish kills in forage ponds and seen more, I have become very cautious about how much air the balloon can hold.
