It is possible that the BG that were introduced may not have been very many. If you are lucky the few BG were all males so you will not get any BG reproduction. The BG in your picture looked IMO to be a male. That is a big plus because it will be a lot easier management to get a good YP fishery if no BG are present. In that case just do as Sunil mentioned harvest every LMB caught. Just a few LMB can do a lot to control a YP population. Keep us updated.
