What are the WR of the younger bass you catch? My thinking is this "might" tell you how many of the small ones you have. Are you sure that there are a lot of small ones to take out? With this, could it be possible that your larger bass are now focusing on the small bass because the shad aren't a big enough meal for them? Their dwindling numbers could be why its hard to catch those now.
Possibly WR ratio isn't even a good indicator since there is so much forage the small bass will always be fine size-wise. Still, those big LMB might be culling the small bass.
