Listen to TJ!!!!

Actually if TJ is right and you have a fair amount of LMB then that makes perfect sense what TJ said. I was kind of hoping that you didn't have so many LMB (you said you only ever caught 1) and that you would have a chance through angling of gradually lowering LMB numbers and slowly transitioning over to a different apex predator. Maybe the LMB are too far ahead of the game for that to work.

Any way of knowing how many LMB are truly there and of what sizes?
