Absolutely agree with Nate and vice-versa. In fact our approaches are not that far apart only as to rate of change and risk.

I am intentionally doing the good cop/ bad cop here. One of PB's major goals is to put out solid info and make people think through all the angles. Nate is giving one cutting edge approach which offers high reward with some risk. I am being the balance and giving the less risky alternative with slower more controlled results. Both have pluses and minuses. You need to hear both and learn how to make the knowledgeable choice commensurate with the risk level you are comfortable with. That advances learning and good choices.

I do not think that the absence of large YP is due to all of them being eaten by the few NP. One method of finding out would be to harvest 1 or 2 NP and look at the stomach contents. I would wait until after ice out to make that check however. Same for a couple of bigger LMB. I have not seen Dwight indicate he wants to address the YP situation only to add some bonus SMB and WE. Will also note that all the info/reports are not consistent on the status of things.
