I think the SMB would be great in a pond with too many GSH. It is hard to believe a pond could be overpopulated with SMB & GSH. I would like to see and sample that pond. Excess shiners could be moved to another pond as forage. The good thing about 8" GSH there should always be some shiner broodstock for producing small shiners each year. I think the most common problem with GSH in a smallie pond is there would usually be too few GSH. There is a small pond near me with SMB, RES, and GSH. GSH are only scarse in this pond and the majority of the ones present are large 8"-9".
