RC51,

Your last comment brings up an interesting point for an amateur such as myself.

If you were to remove the larger LMB and leave the smaller LMB, how would this affect your forage in the long run of the food chain?

I would imagine or assume, we all know what possibilities that brings, that your smaller BG would have to support the increasing smaller LMB thus over a period of time reducing the BG from getting to the supporting size for the remaining larger LMB.


Under a pond management point of thinking, would you not have to closely watch the BG sizes and ensure that your smaller LMB do not eat out the supporting size BG?

I also want to have large BG and large LMB so I catch & release my CNBG & BG 8" and larger and closely monitor my BG smaller sizes to ensure I am not lacking in one area of growth. If this were to take place then I am sure the LMB in that feeding range would go under RW rather quickly and then force you to reduce their numbers.

AM I thinking straight with my limited knowledge on pond management?
