In my experience YP do not eat small BG very well until the YP get to 7"-8" sizes. As Snipe says small YP can prey heavily on small FHM (0.7"-1.2"). YP smaller than 6" eat primarily invertebrates and compete with BG for the invertebrates that in a crowded BG population inverts will be sparse. Use the info from TJ and Snipe as good advice. Turbid water and high numbers of smaller BG that eat similar foods will slow the growth of smaller YP.
