A lot of theories have been dismissed, Justin, what do you think happened to your fish?
Please don't mistake my answers to questions as theory dismissal. I am only providing information as I know it. In regards to what I think happened...I am at a point where I think too many bass and not enough bluegill were stocked, possibly coupled with something happening to lower my numbers of available forage for the fingerling bass when stocked (predator, bad spawns, etc.). Taking 2 years of information that I have, and getting various opinions, has me thinking that my fish that are around the 13" mark now are my originals, and they just didn't have the forage to grow.
Now the question is how to correct....and for that, I am torn in many directions.
