Yes, I am trying to think outside the box a bit and and not 100% set on the LMB. Like you said, they can always be put in later as they would be the "King" of predator fish.
In fact I am seriously considering the YP/WE combo to see how it does. This is why I am reluctant to start tossing in GSH yet. If Im not doing the LMB I dont want a bunch of GSH bait stealers that my other predators cant eat b/c they got too much of a head start. Also, Im not so sure I have great structure/habitat for SMB.
Where are you guys buying your fish from?
