One of the things large bodies of trophy LMB water have that small BOWs don't is large predators. I think they can be important, especially in those reservoirs. In your own BOW, in the right number, carefully managed, perhaps they would. Would you point me to that article? This is something of interest to me.

Large predators perform a dual role I think for help LMB grow bigger. They limit LMB competition by eating smaller sizes of them and the increase the supplies of appropriately sized forage by removing forage that is too large for the LMB to eat.
