bstone fed 1200 pounds of optimal this year. So it wasn't for lack of feeding that the YOY are in poor condition. This must be a case of what happens when YOY are just too plentiful and predators too few. That size of BG isn't finding enough food because there are no predators to thin them down ... yet that is.
