Ewest, I hear some say take out all the BG you can catch to help keep balance and I hear some say leave all the BG and take out the LMB. It seems to me that if there is a good balance of > 10" LMB, they would devour the extra BG. I am thinking focus on keeping the LMB fished at a good rate and let the BG do what they do. Is that your take?

I like your idea of taking the 3-6" BG out to increase the size of the larger BG in the forage pond.
