You guys have something interesting going on up there.

Catching a lot of crappie, but not so much YP or Bluegill. Crappie are not such a good forage base, and they are abundant. YP and BG are great forage base fish, and the pike may be eating on them.

Also, no culling program for LMB.

One pike should be sacrificed to see what it's eating, so yes.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
