If you would like another opinion from a novice. I think Snrub is on the mark.

If it were me and I did not know what I had, I would fish heavy for everything. Keep all CC(they get hook shy quick IMO).

Bass, take with mouth gape under 2 1/2" and mouth gape 4 1/2" or so larger, ( they will eat CNBG that will fit in their mouth). That will leave the larger CNBG to grow. Take skinny ones too.

Take slot CNBG in the 5" to 7" maybe 8". Throw back any large specimens that look healthy or have Length/Weight ratios that are high.

RES, I do not catch many and I stock RES jumbos every year, so I would not know what to say other than I keep the few I catch.

Good luck and what a problem to have laugh
