I'm curious about the 2026 instead of 25 too? Would it be to give time to harvest an appropriate number of existing fish? Create a hole to fill with the new fish type of thing?

Forage base may be okay but could be missing a key component especially if you are trying to grow 5-7 lb plus LMB.


And unfortunately I don't know enough about this stuff to know if I'm missing a key component. We grow 5-7lb bass, but I'd sure like more of them.
