Load your picture somewhere and just post the link to it. from your description it seems you have GSF. A good strong population of LMB will usually effectively control the GSF but getting there may not allow you to grow trophy size(8 lb) LMB. If you don't add LMB before the GSF spawn the GSF population could become pretty abundant and more difficult to control. GSF readily enter fish (wire mesh minnow) traps. This is a way to thin your population and sample the neighbor's pond.
