Thanks for the info, I am rethinking my YP for this year just to check up on what I have in LMB.

Cody Note: Wise decision. Sample the bass lengths this summer and those data will give a good indication of what size of YP will best survive in your pond. IMO it will take dense cover to the extent of a good sized weed bed to protect smaller perch from hungry aggressive LMB. LMbass can eat a YP about 1/2 the bass' length because YP body form is slender (fusiform) until the YP get to around 10".
