Dr. Perch will agree with me (I hope)...Them thar is some skinny-azz perch.
Those of that size need to be removed as obviously there is no forage of the right size available, don't make it any worse, I say get them out as you catch them. That doesn't fix the forage problem and I need to go back and read what all you have currently in your BOW.
I went back and read your first post.. Can you provide some insight as to age of pond, what was stocked, etc..???
YP are FHM smashers and those YP indicate an absence of FHM (forage) to me.. Small BG are not going to support YP in most cases unless there are countless tons of them in the right size.
Give some insight as to population status of entire pond, what all types/sizes of fish?
