Thanks, FR. Last year the biologist said that we shouldn't take out too many bass, numbers weren't great. This year the opposite. But last year's survey was done several weeks later when temps were considerably warmer. Also shows that you never arrive at perfect balance, at least, not for long.
That 1.5 lb coppernose bluegill was absolutely gorgeous, beautiful colors including some purple. So wish I'd taken a pic. I'll just have to catch him (it was a male) & get photo.
