If the 30% number turns out to be correct - my 50 LMB would be 35 next year at 1 year. If I was able to pull another 10 in the way of males or lowest performing fish I'd be down to 25 in the 1.5 acres. With short numbers of fish like that I would hope that forage options for them would be high and RW's continue to be maximized. Each LMB spawn does require us to harvest smaller fish along with additional males anytime we can identify them.
