I agree ewest Gshad get big quick, what I was brain storm is just a small lake with a established crappie/HSB population hopefully a few size classes of BCP 6" - 10" - 14" able to feast on small Gshad only allowing a few lucky one`s to make it out of Gape reach. Those few would need to be electro-shocked out every few years. Too many Gshad reaching the 8"+ range and it would be a disaster, which could take many years to correct.
I know the simpler thing to do is have a few minnow species be the main forage for BCP. I just was looking into accelerated growth and more weight getting put on to push more fish into a 16-17" trophy class. As I`m located near some incredible world class BCP/WCP lakes Reelfoot TN, Sardis MS, Arkabutla MS, and Enid MS lakes, I can`t help but get jealous of how well these lakes do and what management techniques they are using that could translate into smaller BOW.
