I would allow your HSB to grow another year when they should be 15"-17". They will then be feeding on some of the 5"-6"GSH. Your largest GSH will not live a lot longer. At that point you will need numerous larger GSH adults as brood stock. Be patient for another year or two. Then decide if you need to adjust the GSH population. SMB will be recruiting some members each year. Be patient and let the fishery mature and grow before adding more fish.
