The reason I said hits bass was cause I love eating panfish so with bigger fish like pike Muskie could eat those bigger panfish I like to catch and the bass aren't stunted there just isn't that may and same with the perch we usually catch 2-3 every time we fish in any size ranger but I know the HBS can eat lots of those younger over population of blue gills and what they don't get big enough for me to try to catch and keep so I was also thinking that silence I can't cover the whole pond that bring in some new large mouth genetics with help them get bigger but for now I will keep letting bass and perch go and remove every blue gill thanks for imput anthropic
