As far as culling, I was thinking to remove only GSF because if I have large populations of YP and PKS I don't really need a third panfish. Is there any logic to removing all of the GSF caught in the second event? Should I stick to GSF that are smaller than the top end ie. sub 6.75 inch? My main focus is to improve the body condition and sizes of the other panfish and increase the amount of bass. Further question, if I am going to introduce more predators would more LMB be better than trying Saugeye? If so would that be a fall stocking or spring? For LMB growth rate context, in a previous "version" of this same pond, before a fish kill, my LMB would grow up to a max of 8 inch in their first summer so this slow growth is new and the main differences I see are less adult bass (0 vs seeing and catching) and much smaller sunfish (I had 9+inch HBG). So are we looking at stocking 10-15 ish 8-10 inch LMB? If so should I use the same hatchery or go with a different one in the name of "genetic diversity"? A few too many questions but any input is appreciated
