Just a weird thought here. I grew up in mass. Chain pickerel were just as abundant as bass. Is it possible that the pickerel would compete effectively with the smaller bass enough to reduce thier numbers. Competing by eating the small bluegill. The fewer remaning large bass would have a feast of larger bluegill to feed upon? Just a thought.
