Thank you for the replies. Got a little busy with some sick goats and didn't get a chance to read this. I will begin culling (eating
) any bass under 16" and will get better at checking the RW of the bigger ones and maybe cull some of them if they are well below 100% RW. What chart do you suggest using? Most of the ones I have looked at put a 16" LMB at 2.25 lbs and a 20" at 4.59 lbs. I assume there is some variance pre spawn vs post spawn. I will look into threadfin shad. I assume that is to add more forage for the LMB. Will they overwinter in western Kentucky or is that why you suggest adding every year? Will do some more fishing for CNBG, but the few times I really tried targeting them it seems like all I caught was LMB and I got tired of them trashing my Beetle Spins.
