Who was the biologist ?

Not going to second guess him/her without seeing all the results. I will point out that maintaining balance in lakes like yours is like balancing on the edge of a knife blade - hard to maintain. There is a strong tendency in southern waters for LMB to overpopulate. With that in mind I would tend to overharvest LMB rather than under shoot on the #s. Any negative change in RW or condition of LMB should result in you taking more out than 15 lbs. Stay ahead of the curve !
