[#0000FF]I have long believed in thinning in the middle...keeping the hungry teenagers and letting the adults get bigger.
We kept about 8 of the "underfooters" today. And just about every one of them had either a freshly eaten crawdad or a small sunfish in it's gut. Those mid-sized ones eat more proportionately than the bigger fish...and clean up a lot of the food that would help make the big ones bigger.
Here are a couple of CSI pics from today's fillet board.
