That 200 lbs will be replaced with something. That is certain. By fall you will have reached the carrying capacity once again. This is really about numbers. You want the BG and Crappie exceeding 4" to number something less than 1000. If you can get it there, they will achieve noticably more weight and length. Once there, you may find that you'll get a bumper crop of offspring. Should that happen, you will do what you've been doing again, so it will probably cycle, but as long as you have a good number of small bass, you will be able to keep up with them with harvest. If you happen to be harvesting more than you want ... supplement more bass.
Here is what I would recommend. For now, harvest only 25 lbs more. For this 25 lbs take measurements and weights. I will upload an excel file that you can store that record in. There are a number of options in how you record. Weight and #fish, individual fish by length, or length and weight by individual. The first will suffice for our purposes. This 25lbs will serve as a sample that we will estimate some numbers but most of these numbers will be computed this fall after your remaining fish have grown into the space you have made for them.
