There have been occasional threads over the years advocating the use of NP to control other predators or even larger sunfish, as in mixing NP with SMB in bluegill ponds. IIRC, one of the most ardent supporters was here in TN; he was such an enthusiastic supporter...
....but you are right, there hasn't been much on this topic in some time. Dwight would seem to have a very nice balance, and might give an update on his experience with NP, LMB, BG, BC, and YP [and I think a few SMB, too] Would be interested in hearing from anyone else who has such a mix going as well.
